ArmInfo. South Caucasus Railway has opened a Railway Museum of Armenia
at the building of Yerevan Central Railway Station. SCR leadership
and veteran-railmen attended the opening ceremony.
"The South Caucasus Railway is an operating structure that serves
the economy of Armenia. In addition, it has over a century-long
history directly connected with the history of Armenia. We think it
very important to know it and preserve our traditions", says Sergey
Haroutiunyan, the SCR chief engineer. The stands in the Museum present
the history of railway communication in Armenia starting from the 19th
century when Tiflis-Aleksandropolis (now Gyumri) railway was built up
to the present day. "The whole exposition and design of the exhibition
hall shows the cooperation of Armenia and Russia which is continued
also at present," he says. The reconstruction of the exhibition hall
took 8 million drams. SCR CJSC is the 100% subsidiary of the Russian
Railway OJSC and the concessionaire of the Armenian Railway CJSC.
