Thessaly Museum Railway

About

Thessaly Museum Railways began operating in 1999, starting only with a few volunteers whose dream and aspiration was to demonstrate the line’s value. The base of operations was initially Velestino station, as the area around it featured headquarters, a small depot and a turntable, infrastructure necessary for the team’s purpose. Up until today, works on the line are focused on tasks such as replacing aging sleepers, restoring the loading gauge and replacing ballast along the tracks, all to ensure safe museum railway vehicles operation.
