The Centre

Steam Locomotive 78 - M36 Class

» A state-of-the-art Exhibition Building will be a local landmark

The goal of the Rail Heritage Centre is to conserve and present the state's core rail heritage collection. It will provide a gateway for visitors to other rail heritage precincts across NSW and a ticket out of Sydney into our rich rail heritage past.

The Centre aims to attract a diverse audience, now and into the future, through innovative public programs, creative exhibitions and a unique function venue.
