Torreon is a young city, located in the a semi-desert area of Mexico. Having arrived in Torreon in 1883, the railroad was an indispensable element to denote the progress of the Lagunera Region. Therefore, this region had to be conceived and developed around the railroad.

* A room of exhibitions that consists of: fantasy scale models, equipped with trains that have a very attractive route; two scale models of the first railroad stations of Torreon; work instruments that were used in the different departments of National Railroads of Mexico, sequenced photographs that show the development of the railroad in the world, as well as railroad facilities of the Torreon Division; there are also photos of the people who made possible, here in our city, the operation of such an important company.

* A camping car, reproduces the atmosphere in which workers and their families lived while building or developing the iron paths.

* A forging or blacksmith shop, where pieces and ironworks were produced for the correct installation of the routes and for reinforcing railroad cars.

* A Science wagon, where information about the fascinating world of science are given.
