Canberra Railway Museum, Transport museum in Kingston, Australia
The Canberra Railway Museum maintains a collection of locomotives, passenger cars, freight wagons, track maintenance equipment, and railway artifacts from different periods.
Established in 1985, the museum faced closure in 2016 due to financial difficulties, leading to the creation of two organizations in 2018 for its management.
The museum collection represents the evolution of Australian railway transportation through preserved engines, carriages, and technical equipment from various periods.
The museum operates under Capital Region Heritage Rail Limited, offering guided tours and educational programs for schools interested in transportation history.
The collection includes Australia's oldest operating steam locomotive, constructed in 1878, which remains among the oldest functioning mainline steam engines worldwide.
