Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum

The Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum in Dorrigo, New South Wales, Australia is a large, privately owned collection of railway vehicles and equipment from the railways of New South Wales

The collection dates from 1878 until 1985.. The museum was opened very briefly in 1986, but has been described as "not yet open to the public" ever since.. The museum's origins stem from the formation of the Hunter Valley Steam Railway & Museum in 1973 which was formed following the closure of the Glenreagh to Dorrigo branch line the previous year with the aim of restoring the 69 kilometres as a tourist railway. Much of the rolling stock was stored at the former Rhondda Colliery, three kilometres from Cockle Creek while the line was repaired. It was renamed the Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum in 1982.
