The Finnish Railway Museum (Template:Langx) is a railway museum located in Hyvinkää, Finland. It was founded in Helsinki in 1898. The museum was moved to Hyvinkää in 1974.
The museum is on the former station and yard site of the Hanko–Hyvinkää railway.[1] In addition to the station building, there is a roundhouse and several other preserved buildings, mainly from the 1870s. The museum also has a live steam backyard railroad track, where train rides are offered to the public during special run days in the summer months.
