Malta Railway Museum - Attard

The Malta Railway opened in 1883 and closed in 1931. There is a private museum in the village of Attard, which has a wonderful selection of photographs, maps, timetables and artefacts on display related to the Malta Railway, the highlight of the museum is a model of all the stations and bridges along the line of route from Valletta to Hamrun, Birkirkara, Attard, San Salvatore, Notabile (Rabat) and Museum (Mtarfa) hand made by Mr Nicholas Azzopardi who is to be congratulated on the results of his hard work over the years.
