Chamartín Historical Trains Exhibition?
METRO DE MADRID, a century-old company, has been recovering an important part of its historical heritage, creating a sort of "dispersed museum" through which it has been disseminating its history since its inauguration in 1G1G.
The suburban museums are spaces of unquestionable historical value, designed, among others, by the famous architect Antonio Palacios. Chamberí Station, Nave de Motores and Vestíbulo de Pacífico are some of its exponents. It also has a permanent exhibition of the first classic trains that ran on the metropolitan network.
In addition to this legacy are the archaeological remains found in the works of the subway at the Ópera station and musealized as Los Caños del Peral.
