Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre, Railway museum in Peterborough, Australia.
The Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre presents historic locomotives, passenger carriages dating from 1889, and freight vehicles within original workshop buildings and roundhouse.
The railway complex employed 1,500 workers during its peak operations, serving as the main administrative center for the Peterborough Division of South Australian Railways.
The museum preserves industrial heritage through guided tours that explain railway operations, social history, and technical aspects of train maintenance and operations.
The centre operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering 90-minute guided tours that require enclosed footwear due to uneven walking surfaces.
The facility contains Australia's only remaining triple gauge turntable, accommodating narrow gauge, standard gauge, and broad gauge rail systems simultaneously.
