Sierra Leone National Railway Museum, Railway museum in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The Sierra Leone National Railway Museum displays locomotives, coaches, and historical railway equipment housed in a former workshop building in Freetown's Cline Town district. The collection contains various rolling stock and machines from the railway's operational years.
The museum was established in 2005 to protect railway equipment that survived after government rail operations ceased in 1974. The collection preserves technical heritage spanning several decades of rail service.
The museum preserves coaches built for dignitaries and important visitors, reflecting how the railway once served state ceremonies and formal occasions. These vehicles show the role trains played in the nation's official life.
The museum is located in the Cline Town district and is accessible by foot or local transport. Visitors should allow time to walk around and examine the locomotives and equipment at a comfortable pace.
During the civil war, the museum's workshop building provided temporary shelter to thousands of displaced people. The structure simultaneously served as a refuge and protected the locomotives from damage.
