Railroad Depot in Chomutov
In Railroad Depository NTM in Chomutov are alocated almost 100 pieces of rolling stock of several gauges and various types. It makes our depository the greatest state colection in the Czech Republic. The depository is located in former Czech Railways depot.
The display comprises nearly 100 rail vehicles of various gauges and types – from a steam locomotive manufactured in 1870 to new traction vehicles that are a century younger. There are locomotives from former ČSD; saloon, passenger, and diesel cars, electric and diesel locomotives, historic hand cars as well as vehicles only recently removed from České Dráhy operation.
The greatest attraction are steam locomotives – for example express “Albatross” 498.106 with top speed 162 km/h (100 mph), the first post-war locomotive 534.0301, or steam tram locomotive “Gartenau” manufactured in Linz in 1887. Visitors are filled with admiration for a Ústecko-teplické railway company saloon car from 1900, made in F. Ringhoffer’s factory in Smíchov in Prague, or a saloon car made by Kopřivnická rail car factory in 1906 for baron Adolph Rothschild.
