The museum is on the original station and yard site of the Hanko-Hyvinkää Railroad. In addition to the station building, there is a roundhouse and several other preserved buildings, mainly from the 1870s.

Unique objects are on display, including the only surviving imperial train of the Russian Emperor. There are ten steam locomotives on display, the oldest from 1868.

The museum also has a live steam backyard railroad track, where train rides are offered to the public during special run days in the summer months.
