Railway Museum Presents the history of the railway in northeastern Mexico. Visitors are offered a quick glimpse into the region’s railway past through the 110 items that make up the permanent exhibition “Antigua Estación del Golfo.” There are measuring instruments, work tools, traffic signs, as well as photographs and railway objects related to daily work at the old railway station, now converted into the Nuevo León House of Culture. A renovation process began in 2017.
