Fajne léto 2022

The Moravian-Silesian Railway Museum prepared a surprise as a part of the traditional summer event called "FAJNE LÉTO 2022"- an example of a historical rolling stock.

In previous years you could see an older electric and motor locomotives. Last year, in cooperation with the Škoda Transportation company, we allowed the public to walk through the very modern PUSH-PUL train set even before it was put into regular operation on the Ostrava – Frýdlant nad Ostravicí line. On Saturday, August 20, 2022, the legendary motor car M 290.002 - Slovak Strela will be exhibited. The Slovak Strela is a national cultural monument. It will be placed at the Ostrava střed station all day and visitors can see it from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The TATRA TRUCKS company plans to send the T 87 and T 603 road passenger vehicles and the TATRA museum truck to Ostrava střed station as well. The main program of the event called "FAJNE LÉTO - DEN SE SLOVENSKOU STRELOU" will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Families with children can see and ride the garden model steam railway and touch our steam locomotive from 1883. They will also be able to touch two of the most modern fire trucks of our railway firefighters. Visitors will certainly be interested in the engaging afternoon program with moderated competitions. There will also be souvenirs with a picture of the Slovak Strela available for purchase. Our museum will be open all day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., offering visitors a discount on the entrance fee.

The employees of our Moravian-Silesian Railway Museum are looking forward to see you at this summer event "FAJNE LÉTO 2022"!

The Exhibition MORAVIAN - SILESIAN CENTRAL RAILWAY, Olomouc - Krnov - Opava

Dear visitors and supporters of the Moravian - Silesian Railway Museum we are announcing a new exhibition: MORAVIAN - SILESIAN CENTRAL RAILWAY, Olomouc - Krnov - Opava.
A new exhibition describing the history of the Olomouc - Krnov - Opava line has been open since Saturday 30.4.2022. This line leads through the valley of the river Bystřice through the town of Bruntál to Krnov - to the then imperial border. It was ceremoniously opened for freight transport on October 1, 1872. Passenger transport on this line was launched on October 15, 1872. The line from Krnov to Opava (today's Opava West) did not start operating until November 1, 1872.

Visitors can read about the history of the construction of the line and its beginnings of operation at the exhibition areas of the new exposition.

In this eleventh publication, published in the "Library of Our Museum" edition, is recorded a part of the history of another main railway line in the Moravian-Silesian Region. After the Northern Railroad by the Emperor Ferdinand and Rail Tracks of Moravian-Silesian Towns it is the Moravian-Silesian Central Railway. Many of the activities of the Moravian-Silesian Central Railway in Krnov are known from various historical materials and documents and another sources. The history of Krnov´s railway junction is very interesting. It points out at the symbiosis of the railway and the city at different times. The publication does not describe the detailed history of railway workshops, but describes a large number of previously unpublished facts and documents, the development of changes in the repair company, technical and construction development of workshops and the impact of political and territorial changes in the Krnov region. In the end of this publication the authors introduce to their readers in an interesting way with the privatization of workshops at the turn of the 20th and 21st century, which then became a successful and modern company for repairs, reconstructions and also production of rail vehicles.
