Çamlık Railway Museum, Railway museum in Çamlık, İzmir Province, Turkey.

The museum displays 33 steam locomotives arranged around an 18-road turntable, along with nine passenger cars and seven freight cars from different manufacturers.

The facility occupies the former Çamlık station grounds, which operated on the Ottoman Railway Company mainline established in 1866 as Turkey's first railway route.

The museum collection includes a special salon car utilized by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during his travels across the developing Turkish railway network.

The museum remains open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily, with entrance tickets priced affordably, and visitors can reach it via regular buses from Selçuk.

The locomotive number 45501 in the collection was involved in the 1957 Yarımburgaz incident, which remained Turkey's most severe train accident until 2010.
