🚂#OTD August 4th, Russia and several other countries honour the workers of the steel thoroughfares.
Railway Workers' Day celebrates those whose labour ensures uninterrupted connections between cities and countries.
To commemorate this holiday, we invite you to visit two amazing museums:

🇷🇺Russian Railway Museum (St. Petersburg):
• Inaugurated in 2017, commemorating 180 years of Russian railways
• Seamlessly blends a historic locomotive depot building with a modern complex
• Houses a collection of rare and legendary locomotives and carriages
• Offers educational programs and themed film screenings

🇮🇳National Rail Museum (New Delhi):
• Established in 1977
• Proudly features a reconstructed monorail from the Patiala State (1907)
• Showcases the world's oldest operational steam locomotive, the "Fairy Queen"
• Exhibits an impressive array of bus models, diesel and steam engines

👨‍🏫Interesting fact: The total operational length of railway tracks in Russia is 122,000 km. In India, this figure stands at 63,000 km.
