Inaugurated in 2006, the Museo de los Ferrocarrileros presents a comprehensive view of the history of railways in Mexico. It also delves into the history of the La Villa train station and various social movements of railway workers throughout Mexico's history. This makes it a rich source of information for those interested in understanding the country's railway history and its social implications.

One of the main attractions at the Museo de los Ferrocarrileros is the Sin Fuego locomotive. This pressure steam locomotive, which is unique in the country, was built by the Davenport Locomotive Works in the United States. It provides a fascinating insight into the technology and engineering of the time.
