The train's five carriages are a collection of mini-museums dedicated to different decades. Inside each carriage, like jewels, are artifacts that embody the spirit of their era. Among them you can see a telephone from the 1920s, the Saturn vacuum cleaner, which became a design icon from the 1970s, as well as the iconic Tetris and one of the first mobile phones with an antenna, symbolizing the 1990s.
