North Williamstown Railway Museum

North Williamstown Railway Museum is home to some of the country’s oldest locomotive engines and is located just 15 minutes south-west of Melbourne.

With the rapid disappearance of steam engines, a number of train enthusiasts floated the idea of preserving the engines in a railway museum, and that was how North Williamstown Railway Museum began.
