Every year on 13 October, Azerbaijan marks Railway Workers’ Professional Day. To commemorate the occasion, the museum presents materials from its Gifts and Commemorative Objects Collection, documenting the development of railway transport in the country.

One of the notable items in the collection is a photo album bearing the inscription in gold lettering, in Russian: “Баку Сабунчинская електр. ж. д” (Baku–Sabunchu Electric Railway). The album is a historical source documenting the commencement of electric train services on the Baku–Sabunchu line on 6 July 1926. It contains photographs of the railway stations in Baku and Sabunchu, the stations of Keshla, Sabunchu and Surakhani, electric locomotive No. 1, freight railway lines, as well as engineers and railway workers of the period. The Sabunchu railway station building depicted in the album, constructed in 1926, now houses the Azerbaijan Railway Museum.

Among the other valuable items in the collection are documents belonging to Firudin Gulu oglu Agayev, one of the first Azerbaijani railway workers to be awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labour. Preserved in the museum are his employment record book dated 24 January 1939, his certificate for the “Honoured Railway Worker” badge, and other related materials.

The collection also includes a cap that formed part of the uniform of Hajiaga Guliyev, chief conductor of the first electric train, and a commemorative photograph of railway workers taken in June 1976 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Baku–Sabunchu line. Other exhibits include a metal brake key and various whistles used in railway service.

The photographs, documents and objects preserved in the museum are important historical and scholarly sources for studying the establishment and development of railway transport in Azerbaijan, the introduction of technical innovations, and the professional activities of railway workers.
