Newport Railway Museum, Train museum in Newport, Australia
The Newport Railway Museum maintains seventeen steam locomotives, eight diesel locomotives, three electric locomotives, and numerous freight wagons in its extensive collection point.
Established in 1962, the museum emerged when the Australian Railway Historical Society received space at Newport Workshops to preserve steam locomotives facing replacement.
The Newport Railway Museum stands as an educational center where visitors explore the technological progression of Australian railway transportation through detailed exhibits.
Located at 26 Champion Road, the museum welcomes visitors on Saturdays from 12:00 to 17:00, with additional Sunday hours during school holidays.
The museum houses H220 Heavy Harry, the largest locomotive built in Australia, alongside F176, Victoria's oldest surviving steam locomotive.
