The Railway-Museum, now located in the San Cesareo area, is a museum center dedicated to the memory of the historical Roma-Fiuggi-Alatri-Frosinone railway line.

Designed to give value to the last section of track in the suburbs that’s still intact, the museum preserves original buildings of the station and a collection of historical rolling stocks, work tools, documents and objects tied to everyday life along the railway line during the Twentieth Century. The Fabbricato viaggiatori (the main building in a train station) hosts an exhibition organized in three rooms: visitors are guided in the discovery of life at the station through a display of vintage photos, everyday objects, scale models, thematic panels and historical documents. The exhibit allows visitors to explore both public areas used by passengers, and private areas reserved for the station master, weaving an immersive tale that presents the railway as a place of work and domestic life.
The collection of vintage vehicles includes very valuable rolling stocks like the locomotive 4 from 1916, the “suspended train” 472-111 from 1949 and the articulated convoy 801 from 1953, all important testimonies of the developmental stages of the STEFER line. The convoys are displayed along the original station tracks, turning the museum’s exhibit into a real journey through time.

Renovated with a philological eye, even the goods Warehouse is now a multifunctional space that houses a thematic library and an area dedicated to events, conferences and workshops for schools, families and enthusiasts. The entire museum is structured in a way that promotes active participation from the visitors, offering an accessible, captivating and constantly evolving narration.
