York - National Railway Museum

The National Railway Museum in Leeman Road on the outskirts of the city is very interesting. Its impressive array of locomotives and carriages dating from 1820 to the present document the history of this form of transport. Among the exhibits in the large hall, which is laid out like an old-fashioned railroad station, are a Victorian mail train from 1838, freight and steam trains dating from the turn of the century, a motorail train and luxurious Edwardian Pullman carriages.
