Humppila railway yard located rolling stock shed repair work finished in late November. Built in the 1960s the former Tuko agricultural warehouse wall and roof panels replaced by a new coated plate. Task was huge, because the building is over 60 meter long and 20 meters wide. The contractor was local company HE Kallioinen Oy. The work finished just before snow covered the ground. The final cost of contract was 70 000 euros. The project received financial support for ministry of transport and communications.
The rolling stock shed is very important for Museum Railway, because a majority of coaches and freight cars are stored there outside of traffic periods. In addition, many small diesel shunters in variours conditions are also stored in shed.
Inside shed are five 750-millimetre-gauge tracks and a single 1524-millimetre broad-gauge track connected with state railway network. Some broad gauge diesel shunters owned by Museum Railway are stored on this track. In the future, the broad gauge track is planned to be converted into a triple-rail-track. It will make possible to store also narrow-gauge rolling stock on the track.
