The railway transport museum in Vladimir is located near the station and offers visitors a chance to explore samples of rolling stock, including narrow-gauge freight and passenger cars. All exhibits are displayed outdoors.

Special attention in the exhibition is given to the steam locomotive of the "L" series, which is considered one of the best locomotives of the Soviet era. This locomotive, built in 1952, operated on routes to Orekhovo, Kovrov, and Murom and was assigned to the city depot. In 1995, it was included in the state reserve, and in 1999 it became part of the museum's collection. The locomotive symbolizes the labor glory of the Vladimir locomotive depot.

The Gorky Railway is one of the oldest railways in Russia. The first route, Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod, began construction in 1858, and train services to Vladimir opened in 1861. On March 19 of that year, an emergency train from Moscow delivered the news of the abolition of serfdom, and on June 14, the first passenger train to the capital departed, covering the distance in 16 hours, and in a faster version, in 13 hours.

The Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod railway was completed in 1862, connecting the Volga region with the central part of Russia, passing through Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, and Moscow provinces. Its length was 410 versts, and it played a key role in supplying and delivering goods.

After its opening in 1862, the railway underwent several reconstructions. In 1878, the section to Moscow became double-tracked, and the second tracks to Nizhny Novgorod were laid in 1892.

In the second half of the 19th century, the construction of railways to the north began, and railways in the Vladimir province connected to Yaroslavl, Kineshma, and Ivanovo. In 1873, railway communication was established along the Murom railway. Museum staff provide detailed information about these facts.

In 1901, traffic was opened on the narrow-gauge railway to Ryazan, and in 1924, this route was converted to standard gauge. In 1962, the electrification of the northern direction of the Gorky railway was completed.

The main direction of railway development in the Vladimir region is the organization of high-speed traffic. In 2010, the launch of "Sapsan" trains from St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod began, and in 2013, high-speed "Lastochka" trains started operating on the Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod route.

The main passenger flow, as noted by museum staff, is on the Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod line, which is 265 km in the Vladimir region. The railway here is double-tracked, with electrification using direct current to Vladimir and alternating current from Vladimir to Nizhny Novgorod.

More than 20 pairs of long-distance trains pass through the line daily, some of which require locomotive changes. Suburban services are also well-developed, operated by electric trains: 14 electric trains run to Nizhny Novgorod, and more than 22 trains to Moscow.

The transport flows of the population are served by the Petushki and Gorokhovets stations. The former mainly handles transport to Moscow, while the latter serves routes to Nizhny Novgorod.
