On the right track
The streetcar museum differs from other railway attractions in the region. First, because its primary activity is the collection and renovation of trains, electric tramways and buses. Second, its track system is short at 2 km. Instead of offering one long ride, this museum allows for you to take as many short rides as you wish, on any of the different vehicles available on that day. During our visit, we climbed into a superbly renovated passenger train car from the 1915-1960 period. You can hop out of the train at the end of the line and walk along the trail. There are more displays in the warehouses or in the yards. We had the chance to look at an amusing caboose (which you can now ride on). They offer special Christmas rides.
