The museum (
visit link) is located in close proximity to the railway station Lužná Rakovníka in the premises of a former engine shed of the Buštehrad Railway.
The first historic vehicles were exhibited here in 1997, initially thanks to volunteer work by members of several associations concerned with railway history. In 1999 the exhibition was taken over by Czech Railways (CD), which has been operating it as part of the Depot of Historic Vehicles (DHV) up to the present day.
