The collection in this museum shows the history of the railways in Sardinia.

The railways started in 1860 with the foundation of the "Compagnia Reale delle Ferrovie Sarde" (Italian-English) which, from 1863 to 1883, built 400km of standard gauge line under the direction of Benjamin Piercy.

Between 1886 and 1897 the so-called "Complementary" narrow gauge was added.

On exhibit are photographs, a telegraph from the Ferrovie Reali, machinery, sections of track, instruments and documents, station and train furnishings and models.
