Orenburg, Kirova, d 1

The modern generation knows almost nothing about armored trains during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Moreover, Orenburg residents made these formidable weapons in Orenburg and many workers of the South Ural Railway were enrolled in their crews.

Participants of the "Chkalov fortresses on wheels" excursion will be able to get acquainted with this topic.
The guests will hear the stories of the construction of armored trains in the Chkalov region during the war years, and learn their combat paths. A new unique exhibit of the open–air museum, a 1-scale retrocopy of an armored steam locomotive, will allow you to see and feel the full power of these steel machines.:1. The retrocopy was based on a real steam locomotive of the Era series of the late 40s and early 50s, and an interactive exhibit was built in the recreated driver's cabin.

The tour is conducted by appointment.
To book a tour and find out more details, please call: +7 (3532) 500-405, 450-405
