Crewe Heritage Centre, Railway museum in Crewe, England
The Crewe Heritage Centre exhibits steam locomotives, diesel engines, and electric trains between the West Coast Main Line and Chester junction.
Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated the museum in July 1987 on the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway yard near Crewe Works.
The Exhibition Hall presents displays about local industrial development, railway engineering achievements, and the transformation of Crewe from farmland to manufacturing center.
Visitors can access three operational signal boxes, explore locomotive cabs, and experience a miniature railway that extends for 600 meters through the grounds.
The museum houses the sole remaining Advanced Passenger Train prototype, which demonstrated its tilting mechanism for the first time in preservation during 2013.
