This main attraction of this museum is luxurious rail coach used by the queen of Mysore. The museum is pretty small but filled with old coaches and locomotives from the southern railways of India.
They also have a toy train that runs in circles through the museum that you could ride on. One of the posters in the museum had information about the most scenic routes of Indian railways, something to explore in the future.
