Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT) - Heritage Railway, Tour Train & Museum Operator

The Society preserves railway history, particularly that of Canberra and the southern districts of New South Wales, for the enjoyment and enlightenment of present and future generations.

Members work toward this goal by:

• collecting and restoring locomotives, other rollingstock and items of railway memorabilia;
• preserving and recording railway history; and
• operating trains with restored rollingstock.

More than 100 pieces of rollingstock, including historic steam and early diesel engines, are on display at Canberra Railway Museum, in the Canberra suburb of Kingston.
