Brisbane Tramway Museum

Brisbane Tramway Museum, Railway museum in Ferny Grove, Australia.

The Brisbane Tramway Museum houses a collection of about 25 trams and two trolley-buses that show how public transport evolved in Queensland. The vehicles come from different periods and demonstrate how these services changed over the years.

The Brisbane Tramway Museum Society was formed in 1968 as Brisbane City Council prepared to close the tram network, which ended in 1969. A site at Ferny Grove was made available in 1972, and the museum opened there in June 1980.

The museum keeps tickets and uniforms of tram staff, including the "Foreign legion" kepi caps worn by drivers and conductors until 1961 and by inspectors for longer. Its photographic collection documents Brisbane's tramway and street transport. The signal cabin from Brunswick and Wickham Streets in Fortitude Valley is preserved on site.

The museum is in Ferny Grove, at the end of the Ferny Grove rail line. A selection of trams runs on the 250-metre demonstration track each Sunday afternoon, but operations stop in wet weather. The track is laid in mass concrete rather than on sleepers and ballast, following Brisbane City Council Tramways Department practice.

A demonstration track of about 250 meters allows visitors to ride in restored trams, including Number 47 from 1901. This hands-on experience lets you see the historical vehicles in motion.
