Welcome to the wonderful world of Heritage Railways and Tramways in the State of Victoria, Australia.
We do hope that you will take your time and browse through our site and come and visit some our most cherished working museums. While we have many static museums in Australia, most of the Heritage Railways and Tramways which you can link to through this site are living and operating museums, bringing back to life, days gone by.
Victoria is very fortunate in having such a great diversity of Transport Heritage that has been saved from the late 19th and the 20th centuries. Our historic transport museums including both static and operating museums are found in all corners of the State of Victoria but all have easy access from Melbourne, the Capital City of the State of Victoria, Australia.
