最高の鉄道スポットです。え、このお値段で良いんですか？と自問自答笑子供も大喜びでした。確かに四国に新幹線は無いです。現状は新幹線は夢物語ですが、四国四県の知事が連動し実現することを祈っています。

JRいよ西条駅に鉄道の博物館。私は実は鉄道にはあまり詳しくなく、旅の途中に予定していた場所に行けなくなり、予備知識無しに施設を見学しましたが、中年の私達夫婦は役目を終えて展示されている0系新幹線の車輌などが見学出来、また、内部も見れましたので、とても懐かしく、楽しかったです。子供さんたちもとても楽しそうにしておられるのを拝見しましたが、祖父母世代の方が体験したことをお孫さんに話しても普通は伝わらないところ、それを目の前にすると家族の共通の体験としてイメージが深まるでしょうし、とても面白い場所に巡り会えて良かったと思いました。

電車好きの子供を連れて家族で訪問入場料金も安価でスタッフさんの応対も良かった展示物に至っては圧巻の現物車両が当時の面影をそのままに、車両によっては内部も観覧する事が出来た鉄道の模型や、歴史的価値のある鉄道関連グッズの展示、四国の名所を織り込んだジオラマセットもありその全てが見応えありさらに、新幹線生みの親で偉人の十河信二氏の事も詳しく説明があり、勉強になる事間違い無し子供は電車を見てテンション上げ、大人は勉強にもなる鉄道歴史パーク駅（線路）もすぐ横にあり、よりリアルに現役電車を堪能できる
