Newport Railway Workshops Open Day

Volunteers give thousands of their hours to maintain Victoria's 140 years of railway heritage but you can only see the fruits of their labour once every two years!

As well as the Railway Museum and its static displays, a ticket gives you access to guided tours of the workshops and working yards. Many steam and diesel locomotives will be running. You can blow the whistles and stoke boilers.

Relive your youth in a restored Red Rattler or watch the last steam weighbridge. See the turntable in action. Visit historic aviation cockpits, model railways and the restored clocktower. There are 29 steam locos to visit, many of them belching steam and smoke and hauling trains. It's a fun filled day out.
