About: This is a small but full museum that used to be a train station, containing information mostly about the history of the railroad in Costa Rica, but also a random assortment of vintage items that you could probably spend hours looking at. Outside there is an old train engine on an abandoned rail line that you can get on and look around and take pictures with. If you follow the line east you will reach a bridge that many people especially cyclists like to visit to cross and take pictures. Do this at your own discretion. There are trails behind the tracks that lead down to a waterfall and the Grande River.
