Hunter Valley Railway Trust, Railway museum in North Rothbury, Australia

The Hunter Valley Railway Trust was a railway museum in North Rothbury that displayed a collection of rolling stock, freight cars, and passenger coaches from Australian railways. The site preserved steam locomotives and historic railway equipment that offered visitors insights into the region's transportation past.

The trust assembled its collection in North Rothbury on the site of the Rothbury Riot, gathering coal and freight wagons, passenger coaches and ex-New South Wales Government Railways locomotives. It held seven of the fourteen heritage-listed South Maitland Railways 10 Class locomotives until they were sold. In 2022 the Supreme Court of New South Wales ruled in a case that led to the trust's eviction to make way for housing.

The trust held seven of the fourteen heritage-listed South Maitland Railways 10 Class locomotives, a class built for hauling coal on the South Maitland coalfields, until the locomotives were sold. The site itself stands where the 1929 Rothbury Riot took place, so the collection sat on ground tied to coal-mining labour history.

The site allowed visitors to explore historic steam locomotives and railway equipment up close and understand the region's industrial history. Access to the exhibitions provided direct viewing of technical developments from the railway era.

The trust stood on the site of the Rothbury Riot, a 1929 confrontation in which police shot and killed miner Norman Brown during a lockout in the Northern Coalfield. Seven of the fourteen heritage-listed South Maitland Railways 10 Class locomotives were kept there until they were sold.
