Aramac Tramway Museum, Railway museum in Aramac, Queensland, Australia.
The Aramac Tramway Museum displays historic rolling stock and railway artifacts housed in a preserved goods shed built in 1913 on Boundary Street. The collection documents the operations and equipment of the regional line that once served the town.
The tramway began operations in 1913 and closed in 1975 after serving the region for over 60 years. During its time, it was a vital link transporting wool, livestock, and passengers between neighboring settlements.
The collection features the railmotor 'Aunt Emma' alongside original tickets, reports, and photographs that record how railways shaped communities across Queensland. These objects show the everyday role that trains played in connecting people and supporting local industries.
The museum is part of a Heritage Trail that connects nine points of interest throughout the town, with maps available at local visitor stops. Walking the trail gives a complete picture of the area's railway heritage and related sites.
The station was funded entirely by the Aramac Shire Council, making it a rare example of locally owned railway infrastructure in Queensland. This reflects how committed the community was to maintaining its own transport connection.
