Liski Railway Museum

Liski is a major rail hub on the Moscow–Rostov line and gateway to Divnogorye. The railway museum covers South-Eastern Railway history: track building, depots, steam and diesel eras. Outdoor yard and halls display locomotives, carriages, signalling gear, documents and photos. Accessible for children and adults interested in industrial heritage. The museum runs on a schedule; book group tours ahead. Liski is a base for Divnogorye (~25 km) and Kostenki Museum (~35 km). The railway museum fits first or last on a day trip from Voronezh. Early 20th-century building stock survives near the station; museum to station walk takes half an hour. Outdoor yard is hot in summer, slippery in winter — dress for weather. Do not climb equipment without permission.
