Description: |
|
Shanghai Railway Museum was built on the former site of Shanghai
Railway Station (formerly known as Laobeizhan, or Old North
Station) on Huning Railway (Shanghai-Nanjing Railway) in the
ratio of 1:1.08. The station was built in 1901 with classic
English style. There are four floors in total. The main
exhibition hall covers an area of 1,000 square meters, and there
is an outdoor exhibition of 1,300 square meters. The whole
exhibition area is divided into 6 sections. In order to
highlight the museum’s features, all the exhibits and exhibition
boards are placed on the railway tracks or in the train
carriages.
People will see 2 locomotives after entering the
museum. The large one is a KD7-641, which was made in the 1940s
in the United States, and was donated by the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to help China recover
its economy. The black green carriage was the high-class service
car of major government officials during China’s Republican Era
(1912-1949). It is said that it used to be the private car of
Soong May-ling (宋美龄 (1898-2003), aka. Madame Chiang Kai-shek).
The small one is the steam locomotive SN-26 with narrow gauge
railway. Its speed could reach 45 kilometers per hour and it
could be loaded with 200 tons of weight. It is extremely
flexible when taking turns, so it was used in the rugged
mountainous area of Yunnan Province. |
