Once, Finland was part of the Russian Empire, and the memory of this period is still alive. The country has preserved houses belonging to Russian noble families, as well as extensive museum collections. In the main squares of cities, monuments to Russian tsars are erected, whom Finland still remembers with gratitude.
Visiting a museum, a café, or boarding a ship, you can see portraits of Nicholas II, Alexandra Feodorovna, and other Russian emperors occupying honorable places. Many historical relics related to the Romanov dynasty are carefully preserved here.
In the small town of Hyvinkää, located 60 km north of Helsinki, there is a historical relic in the railway museum: the train of His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II. The train and locomotive look as if they have just come off the assembly line. The locomotive was built in Finland in the 1870s. The train includes a locomotive, Nicholas II's personal car, the empress's sleeping car, and a salon car. In 1923, the train was transferred to the museum.
Of the many imperial cars, only these three have survived to this day.
