Museo Ferroviario
(admission S5; 8am-6pm)
This museum located inside the train station - just ring the
bell at the southern gates - gives the impression of stepping back in time. You can wander
amid beautiful though poorly maintained 20th-century steam engines and rolling stock,
most of them British. The shed-like salons by the station are filled with historic
paraphernalia, including a curious collection of international postage stamps.
About a 15-minute walk south of the train station, a British locomotive built in 1859
and used as a troop train in the War of the Pacific is the centerpiece of
El Parque de la
Locomotora
, an otherwise empty roadside park.
