The Pires do Rio Railway Museum honors the memory of the railroad and the railway workers who, since the late 19th century, helped transform Pires do Rio into a landmark of development in the Goiás countryside. The arrival of the trails was the driving force behind the city’s growth, connecting it to the rest of Brazil and bringing prosperity, new opportunities, and, above all, a new rhythm of life.

Pires do Rio was born and grew around the tracks, and the railway was essential for the movement of people, products and ideas. The work of the railway men, with their dedication and courage, became the backbone of a city that flourished with the strength and power of the trains. For generations, the sounds of locomotives and the comings and goings of the railcars marked daily life, while the train stations became meeting points and symbols of a time of transformation.

Nowadays, the railway remains an integral part of our landscape and collective memory. This museum is a tribute to all those who, through their hard work and dedication, helped build not only the tracks but also the history of Pires do Rio. Here, you will relive the most memorable moments of this journey and understand how the rails of yesterday continue to shape our city and its people today.

Come explore the past that moves us and discover how the railway still reflects in the life of Pires do Rio.
