A little difficulty walking to museum due to no signs on roads.... but found with another lost group of people. I think museum is lacking many must have many exhibits such as movie, train bells...

津山駅そばにある施設。鉄道好きではありませんが、ホテルのチェックインまでの暇潰しでいきました。鉄道事故が多い昨今、鉄道の線路の切り替えや、カーブでの車輪の違いによる、脱輪率を実験出来るモデルなどがあり、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。
