The Eisenbahnmuseum Metelen Land is situated on the Münster–Enschede railway line (route 407). Since 1986, it has been operated and maintained by the Eisenbahn-Interessengemeinschaft Metelen e. V. (EIG). This museum offers a unique insight into the history and operation of the railway in this region.
The Eisenbahnmuseum Metelen Land is housed in a 19th-century railway station building. This building was saved from demolition when the station was downgraded to a halt in 1984. It is now a protected monument, adding to the historical significance of the museum.
The Eisenbahnmuseum Metelen Land offers a variety of exhibits for visitors to explore. These include a collection of uniforms and caps, the fully functional mechanical signal box of the station, a ticket printer, a person scale with card output, a model railway layout, and a local and long-distance barrier. These exhibits provide a comprehensive overview of the railway's history and operations.
The Eisenbahnmuseum Metelen Land is easily accessible by train, as the Metelen Land halt is served by the Euregio-Bahn (RB 64). This makes it a convenient destination for tourists traveling in the region.
