Photo and description

Who in childhood did not dream of having a railway, did not fantasize about rushing along the rails, flying through tunnels, bridges, forests, fields, stopping at a small station and honking before departure? For many, this remained a childhood dream, which was simply forgotten over time. In Orenburg, once on the embankment, you can involuntarily find yourself in childhood; small rails, small carriages, a station building that looks like a steam locomotive from a designer, and, what is most unusual and striking, teenage children - train drivers and carriage drivers. And then everything is like an adult's - a schedule, a ticket, a station ...

A unique city attraction with young railway workers opened in the summer of 1953 and had a steam locomotive and five pre-revolutionary carriages on the day of the opening. About six kilometers long, the children's railway connects the center of Orenburg and the suburban recreation area, passing along the picturesque coast of the Urals. Scheduled stops are made at the stations: Komsomolskaya (embankment of the Ural River), Pionerskaya (city beaches), Dubki (children's health camps) and Kirovskaya. In 1983, the cars were replaced with all-metal ones, and in 1999 two diesel locomotives underwent major repairs.

Children's narrow-line railway, created for the professional orientation of children for educational and educational purposes, is supervised by the South Ural Railway.
