The NSW Rail Museum tells the story of NSW rail history through Australia’s largest showcase of rolling stock, railway objects and memorabilia.
Students gain insight into the way in which the railways changed lives by bringing people together, transporting goods and services across great distances and into new areas, providing people with jobs and building communities.
Supporting resources such as comprehensive Teachers Notes, a pre-visit slideshow and post-visit revision sheets are freely available from the museum website to help teachers plan for and get the most out of their visit.
