Students learnt about the history of the railway transport in Russia, saw the first steam trains and modern locomotives, looked over all carriages, including the German carriages that transported prisoners in concentration camps, and platform which carried tanks during the Great Patriotic War. But the greatest impression on the students made a command carriage of the 1934, intended for transportation of the military leadership.
