Detail InformationEdit

“The National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide, South Australia, is the current site of the Port Dock Station Railway Museum’s vast Australian Railway Collection.The museum was founded in 1963, by a group of rail preservationists who managed to convince the South Australian Railways Commissioner.
The museum currently houses their large static collection in two pavilions and the historical goods shed at the site of the original Port Dock railway station. On the site, all three gauges of Australia are represented, these being Narrow (3 ft 6 in or 1,070 mm) Standard (4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches or 1,435 mm) and Broad Gauge (5 ft 3 in or 1,600 mm).
The museum has a number of historic buildings, some original to the site and other transported for display.Amongst the more historic of these are:
Goods Shed : The original Port Dock Station Goods Shed is included as part of the Museum complex. This building is constructed of large timber beams and is typical of the type of buildings constructed by the South Australian Railway in the 19th Century.
Woodville Signal Cabin :The former Woodville signal cabin of the South Australian Railways/State Transport Authority has been moved to the Museum site and connected to the narrow gauge yard. It is available for tours.
Callington Station : The “”Callington Shelter Shed and Booking Office”” is typical of the type of building used by the South Australian Railways at small country stations.
The museum operates a number of historic locomotives for shunting purposes and special events where large passenger numbers are applicable, in lieu of this, the 18″” gauge steam locomotives and a diesel operate rides of 1.2 km around the museum.
This is operated from October to April, weekends, public holidays and school holidays when temperatures are below 35 degrees celsius. The line travels along the coastline, through the sand dunes and the Fort Glanville Conservation Park, with the engine being turned and run around at each end of the line, which is a delight for tourists who enjoy the beachside trip.”
