National Railway Museum

The National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide, South Australia, is Australia's largest undercover railway museum, located at 76 Lipson Street. It preserves and displays more than 100 locomotives, carriages and railway artefacts spanning the three gauges used in South Australia. Notable for its extensive Commonwealth and South Australian Railways collections, the museum offers indoor pavilions, outdoor tracks and interactive exhibits illustrating the state's railway history and its role in national development.

Visitors can explore two large indoor pavilions and outdoor display tracks housing steam, diesel and electric locomotives, carriages, railcars and freight stock. The site includes restored station buildings, signal boxes, model railway layouts, interactive displays and interpretive panels. Visitors can walk through selected carriages, view the collection at close range, ride the miniature railway and 5-inch gauge trains on operating days, and browse the shop and cafe within a flat, open museum precinct near the Port Adelaide waterfront.
