Museu del Ferrocarril de Móra la Nova Móra la Nova

The Móra la Nova Railway Museum is located in the old railway facilities of this town and was one of the most important steam locomotive depots in Spain with a hundred machines and where a thousand workers worked.

The FPPFI Foundation for the Preservation of Railway and Industrial Heritage has designed an ambitious industrial archaeology project that includes the recovery of the old buildings of this railway site and the implementation of a tourist train between the Costa Dorada and the inland regions of Tarragona.

Another goal has been the creation of a training workshop for railway superstructure, because this is one of the aspects of our entity, specific training in railway matters.

Our volunteer members will accompany you on a guided tour where you will be able to see the Enclave building, the only building still preserved in Catalonia, from where train traffic was controlled and the compositions of goods destined for the Iberian Peninsula were formed. Through large glass windows you will have a complete view of the railway site. This installation was, at the time, one of the first electromechanical station control systems in Europe.

You will also be able to see the old carriage sheds, which today serve as a small vehicle workshop and where you can climb aboard one of the diesel tractors that began to replace steam locomotives in shunting operations. We will visit the 23-metre diameter, 70-tonne rotating bridge, where the machines were turned.

We will end the tour in the new tourist train depot, where some examples of locomotives of different types of traction, railcars, coaches and wagons are restored and preserved, and through them we will see the evolution of the railway over time. The star of the Museum is the 241F-2238, a very powerful steam engine, which towed express trains between Barcelona and Madrid in the 50s and 60s and which is the only example that is preserved and which was part of the Móra la Nova depot.
