Mornington Railway, Heritage railway in Mornington Peninsula, Australia

Mornington Railway is a heritage railway in the Shire of Mornington Peninsula, Australia, running on a route of about 7 kilometers (4 miles) between Mornington and Moorooduc stations. The trains are made up of restored carriages hauled by steam locomotives dating from the 19th century.

The line opened in 1889 to carry stone from the Moorooduc quarry and served the area until 1981. After closing, it reopened in 1999 as a heritage railway and has been kept running by volunteers ever since.

The railway is entirely run by volunteers who maintain and restore the locomotives themselves. On running days, visitors can sometimes watch them at work and strike up a conversation.

The railway runs every Sunday and a round trip takes about an hour. It is worth checking ahead whether the stations suit visitors with mobility needs or young children.

The original 70-foot (21 m) turntable from Mornington station was taken away by SteamRail Victoria and re-installed at Warrnambool, where it still turns R class steam locomotives. The MRPS was offered a 53-foot (16 m) turntable from Yea instead, big enough for the K, J, D3 and Y classes likely to run here. The old Mornington terminus itself is gone: a shopping centre stands on the site, and only a plaque and replica name board mark it.
