Expo 1520

The first-ever and only railway fair in the wide-gauge area, EXPO 1520 is a biennial show held on the Railway Testing Loop (JSC "VNIIZhT") in Sherbinka, Moscow. It features an exhibition and a bespoke conference which explores all major aspects of rolling stock manufacturing and exploitation.

The exhibition showcases the all-new rolling stock and railway equipment produced in Russia, CIS and EU. The outstanding number of full-size rolling stock ever demonstrated in Eastern Europe has registered EXPO 1520 in the Guinness World Records.

Live presentations of locomotives and railway cars make EXPO 1520 a genuinely unique place enabling manufacturers to spotlight their rolling stock in front of the users, experts and media.

EXPO 1520 brings together all major stakeholders from both wide and standard gauge areas, namely manufacturers, users, suppliers and regulating bodies.
