Réplica de la estación de ferrocarril de Encarnación y Museo Ferroviario

The Encarnación station was the terminus of the line from Asunción and was built in the early 20th century, when the Carlos Antonio López railway reached the city in 1913. It is considered a national historic monument and cultural heritage. In 2009 it was demolished during the waterfront reconstruction carried out by the Yacyretá Binational Entity to raise the reservoir level. Part of the materials was preserved and used to build a replica, outside the railway setting, which works as a cultural centre. It stands between Avenida Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia and República del Paraguay waterfront, a few metres from San José beach, and is run by the municipality as part of the tourist circuit. In September 2021 the Encarnación Station Municipal Railway Museum opened in the replica, with the restored Locomotive 104, from the era of the Carlos Antonio López railway. The Memoria Viva photo museum, which had occupied the building for about six years, then moved to the San José Mill. The building also hosts social, cultural, artistic and historical events.

The Carlos Antonio López railway reached Encarnación in 1913 and connected the city with Asunción, boosting trade and immigration. Passenger service ended decades later. With the rise of Lake Yacyretá the original station was demolished in 2009 and the replica was built on the waterfront.
