The Museo del Ferrocarril 0 Euro Note is a 0 Euro Note dedicated to the Museo del Ferrocarril (Railway Museum) in Madrid, Spain, which is one of the largest historic railroad collections in Europe. It is housed in a redundant railway station called Madrid-Delicias in the barrio of Delicias. The location is near the centre of Madrid. The railway museum opened in the Palacio de Fernán Núñez, which is now the seat of the Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles. After an agreement between RENFE and the Ministry of Culture regarding the future of Las Delicias station, the collections were transferred to Las Delicias which opened as a railway museum in 1984. As a terminus, the station had separate facilities for arriving and departing passengers. However, the most impressive feature is the iron-framed train shed covered by a single-span roof. The building was designed by a French engineer, Émile Cachelièvre. It has been suggested that he was influenced by Henri de Dion's Galerie des Machines, one of the metal-framed buildings erected for the Exposition Universelle (1878) in Paris. The Franco-Belgian Fives group provided metal for both projects. Read more
