Photo and description

Children's railway in Donetsk is located on the territory of the Lenin Komsomol Park of Culture and Rest, not far from the Donbass Arena stadium. The main line was named after the former head of the Donetsk railway - V. Priklonsky.

The first Donetsk Children's Railway named after Kirov was opened in 1936 in the A. Shcherbakov Central Park. However, during the Great Patriotic War, it ceased to exist, since it was completely destroyed. The new Small Children's Railway named after V. Priklonsky was built in 1972. Impressive railway station buildings were built here, as well as a locomotive depot for diesel locomotives.

Today, there are two diesel locomotives in operation of the Small Children's Railway: TU2-023, TU2-038 and five cars PV51. All carriages have been repaired, modernized and brightly painted for the delight of children. Trains of the Children's Railway run along the route, the length of which is 2.1 kilometers, between two stations - Pionerskaya and Shakhtyorskaya. The duration of the trip is 25 minutes.

ChRW stations are equipped with all the necessary technical equipment. There are circles for children: railway, local history, theater, music, computer and "skillful hands". Every year, young railway workers and pupils of Donetsk schools have an excellent opportunity to gain useful knowledge and practical skills here, namely, learn how to drive trains, work as dispatchers, conductors and switchmen.

It is very convenient to combine a trip on the train of the children's railway with other entertainment.
