This category is for narrow gauge museum railways. The title picture on the top is no. 5 of Hyvinkää-Karkkila railway, nicknamed "Sohvi". Sohvi was built in 1917 and it is the oldest locomotive built in Finland since Finland became independent. Photo at Minkiö station 6.6.2010 by Ilkka Siissalo.

A chartered museum train at the Minkiö station. The locomotive is HKR5 (former Hyvinkää-Karkkila railway no.5) which was built in December 1917. The wagon behind it is JR11 (brake wagon no.11) built by the Hietalahti shipyards in Helsinki in 1899. The third coach is from the former Harviala forest railway built sometime in the beginning of the 1900s. And then there is a partly open summer coach built by Orenstein & Koppel sometime in the 1920s.

The same chartered museum train as above, here arriving at the station of Humppila. The village of Humppila got in 2019 a "new" narrow gauge rail station. A small old station house, formerly the station of Riippa, was moved in December 2018 to Humppila, where voluntary enthusiasts have been putting it into working order. In this picture the yellow new colour of the station house is not yet quite ready.

Forssa electric railroad was owned and operated by the cotton mill factories of Forssa Oy, from 1934 Finlayson Oy. It was a 750 mm gauge 500V DC electric railway inside the town of Forssa linking the factory to the station of the narrow gauge Jokioinen-Humppila railroad. This Siemens-Schukert built electric locomotive from year 1905 was in use until 1973 when it was damaged by a lightning. The locomotive is now kept at the narrow gauge museum at Minkiö station.

Between 1889 and 1958 there was a 750 mm gauge cargo railroad between the Pohjankuru (Skuru in Swedish) harbour and the Åminnefors factories in Fiskars. This is the locomotive "Pikku-Pässi" (little ram) of the Fiskars-Pohjankuru railroad. It was built by Krupp in Germany in 1890 and it remained in operation until 1952. It is now kept at Fiskars village as a monument. Photo 19.8.2002 by Mervi Kaleva (now Mervi Salmela). The person inside the loco is rail photographer Ilkka Siissalo.

Once upon a time there was also a 750 mm narrow gauge line from Kovjoki station by the main VR broad gauge line to the city of Uusikaarlepyy (Nykarleby in Swedish). This was called Nykarleby järnväg. These Swedish built locomotives of that railroad are not exactly in a good shape anymore. Picture at Kovjoki 13.6.2004 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Another Nykarleby-Kovjoki railway locomotive is today at a children's playground in Kovjoki. Picture at Kovjoki 13.6.2004 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Between 1907 and 1954 there was a narrow gauge railway between the station of Riihimäki and Loppi, connecting the town of Loppi and the surrounding countryside to the main line railroad at Riihimäki. Nothing is today left of the railway, But the Riihimäki-Loppi Railway RLR locomotive no.3 and a coach have been set up as a monument near the station of Riihimäki. The locomotive has been built in 1912 in Tampere Finland in Tammerfors Linné och jernmanufaktur A.B. what later became the company Tampella. The coach has been built at the Sandviken (Hietalahti) shipyard in Helsinki in 1911. Picture from Riihimäki 5.8.2017 by Ilkka Siissalo.
