The Railway museum, situated opposite to the CFT Research Institute on
Krishnaraja Sagar Road, contains exhibits from the Mysore State Railways
that operated between 1881-1951. Set up in 1979, the museum sets a good
pattern for regional display and has a good collection. Among the exhibits
are steam engines, signals and a Maharani's saloon, with all facilities
built in 1899. The highlight here is the Chamundi Gallery that showcases
a unique and interesting collection of photographs and paintings depicting
the development of the railways. It's fun cum learn museum for children.
