National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide

About

The National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide, South Australia is the largest under-cover railway museum in Australia. More than 100 major exhibits, mainly from the South Australian Railways (SAR), Commonwealth Railways (CR) and their successor, Australian National (AN), are displayed at its 3.5-hectare (8.6-acre) site. A large archival collection of photographs of those railways and records created by them is also managed by the museum. The museum is a self-funded, registered not-for-profit, volunteer-managed organisation that occasionally receives government grants for special projects. Apart from the duties of three paid staff members, all of its activities are conducted by more than 150 volunteers.
