Sierra Leone National Railway Museum

The Sierra Leone National Railway Museum displays locomotives, coaches, and historical railway equipment in a former workshop building in Freetown's Cline Town district.

This museum opened in 2005 after decades of storing railway equipment that survived from the closure of Sierra Leone Government Railway operations in 1974.

The museum collection includes the preserved Governor's coach and a special carriage prepared for Queen Elizabeth II's planned visit to Sierra Leone in 1961.

Located at coordinates 8.489617, -13.205986, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM without admission charge.

During Sierra Leone's civil war, the museum's workshop building served as temporary shelter for thousands of displaced persons while protecting historical locomotives.
