Illawarra Light Railway Museum, Railway transport museum in Albion Park Rail, Australia

The Illawarra Light Railway Museum displays steam engines, diesel locomotives, and miniature trains across its expansive grounds at Tongarra Road.

The museum, established in 1972, preserves the 1915 signal box from Otford and the 1890 Yallah Railway Station building as part of its collection.

The Ken McCarthy Museum building presents the evolution of Australian railway transportation through detailed exhibits and mechanical demonstrations.

Steam train rides operate every second Sunday of the month, while diesel train excursions run on the fourth Saturday at this volunteer-operated facility.

Visitors can explore the locomotive shed to examine historical rolling stock while enjoying refreshments in an authentic Tramway Dining Car.
