The Museum of Science and Water of Murcia exhibits since yesterday in its facilities four models of the municipality’s railway stations, the Carmen, the Zaraíche (current headquarters of Emuasa) and the first that was made to receive the visit of the Queen Elizabeth II, back in October 1862, when the first roads were inaugurated. The Murcian Association of Friends of the Railway has been the organizer of the exhibition ‘Murcia railway stations’, which coincides with the European Year of the Railway. Antonio Hernández Redondo is the author of the models, for which he has used a 3D printer, and has had the help of Ramón Ruiz in painting. Also on display is the model of what will be the future Murcia AVE station, made by Fernando García Pablo.
