Sächsisches Eisenbahnmuseum

Museum in Hilbersdorf, Germany

The Saxon Railway Museum (Sächsisches Eisenbahnmuseum or SEM, today "Schauplatz Eisenbahn") is located in Chemnitz, in the state of Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the site of the former locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk or Bw) for goods train locomotives in the district Hilbersdorf. After the locomotive depot was closed in 1992, the society moved into the buildings which were protected as historical monuments. As a result, the museum has two roundhouses with 20-metre (66 ft) turntables. In addition there are coaling and sanding facilities, water cranes, a working jack for inspection pits
