Western Australian Rail Transport Museum, Railway transport museum in Bassendean, Australia.

The Railway Museum in Bassendean is run by Rail Heritage WA, the Western Australian division of the Australian Railway Historical Society. Its collection holds steam and diesel locomotives, passenger carriages and other rolling stock, with steam classes representing most of those that ran on the Western Australian Government Railways. An on-site archive keeps an online photograph collection covering much of the state's railway history.

The collection was developed from 1969 by Rail Heritage WA, the Western Australian division of the Australian Railway Historical Society. The museum was officially opened in November 1974 by Ray O'Connor, then Western Australian Minister for Transport. It has since grown into the state's largest holding of heritage steam locomotives and rolling stock.

The museum is run by Rail Heritage WA, the Western Australian division of the Australian Railway Historical Society, and its site also houses the West Australian Model Railway Club. Annual events have included Steamfest, Railfest with working steam and diesel displays, and open days. A related South-West Rail and Heritage Centre operates in Boyanup.

The site is easy to reach with plenty of parking and clearly marked paths through the exhibition areas. Wear comfortable shoes since parts of the museum are outdoors and you will need to climb stairs to enter some of the historic vehicles.

The entrance building was originally an apprentice training room for railway workers and was redesigned to look like a historic station. This creative reuse sets the mood as soon as you walk onto the grounds and helps you step back into the world of rail travel.
