Bulawayo Railway Museum, Railway museum in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
The Bulawayo Railway Museum exhibits locomotives, carriages, wagons, and technical equipment spanning multiple decades of Zimbabwe's transportation development.
Established in 1972, this museum preserves artifacts from 1897, including the personal railway coach used by Cecil Rhodes during colonial infrastructure development.
The museum functions as an educational center where children and students explore historical locomotives, railway equipment, and transportation engineering through hands-on experiences.
Located at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Crew Road, the museum charges an entrance fee of 3 US dollars and operates through volunteer staff.
Several steam locomotives from the museum collection returned to active service during periods of rolling stock shortages in Zimbabwe's railway network.
