Steamtown, Peterborough Railway Preservation Society Inc.

Steamtown is a railway museum in Peterborough that displays locomotives, trains, carriages, and freight vehicles in a preserved depot and workshop facility. The site includes multiple buildings where you can view the vehicles and their interiors.

Peterborough railway station was an important junction for freight and passenger traffic in 19th century South Australia. The facility developed into a regional railway center that long played a role in the area's economic development.

The site shows how railways shaped daily life in the region and how people once traveled by train. The exhibits tell the story of this transport route's importance for trade and community.

The museum is easy to reach on foot and has parking available on site. Fixed walkways connect the different exhibition areas, so you can stroll through the facility comfortably.

After dark, converted railway carriages host sound and light shows that tell the story of rail history through multimedia presentations. This is an unusual experience that makes visiting in the evening special.
