     Visitors can take part in a variety of programmes including "A Chat with a Retired Train Driver", at which a retired train driver will share interesting anecdotes about driving trains. Music performances entitled "The Rhymes of Tea" will enable visitors to learn more about tea appreciation while enjoying some beautiful music, and a photo corner will also be set up for visitors to take photos with Diesel Electric Engine No. 51, a star exhibit of the museum.
