Hidden Steam Trains in Bangkok
Thonburi Locomotive Garage (also known as the Thonburi Rail Yard) is a historic railway facility in Bangkok. Located near the Thonburi Train Station and next to the famous Sriraj Hospital, it has been a part of Thailand’s railway heritage for decades. The garage was traditionally used for maintaining and housing locomotives, particularly steam engines, during earlier railway eras.
The site is of interest to train enthusiasts and history buffs, as it reflects the engineering and infrastructure of Thailand’s railway system from its earlier days. However, its significance has evolved as diesel and electric trains have replaced steam locomotives. Some visitors are drawn to it for its connection to the bygone era of steam trains and its somewhat nostalgic charm.
