NSW Rail Museum: A Journey Through Time

Step back in time at the NSW Rail Museum, home to Australia’s largest collection of heritage trains and interactive exhibits. Every weekend and during school holidays, you can hop aboard for a heritage train ride, experiencing rail travel from the past.

Explore the fascinating timeline of railway development, from the invention of the first steam engine to the modern era, and see how NSW railways shaped communities. Climb aboard old steam locomotives, explore a mail van, and walk through a prison van, or marvel at the opulence of the Governor General’s carriage.

Visit the Great Train Hall to see an impressive collection of locomotives and carriages, each with its own unique history. And don’t miss the Roundhouse, where the museum’s heritage fleet is serviced on a rare 105-foot turntable.

The NSW Rail Museum offers an action-packed, educational day out for families and train enthusiasts alike!
