Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre
Steamtown is a museum focussing on transportation in a bygone era - particularly Peterborough's narrow gauge railway heritage.
What was once known as the Railway Workshops has now become known as the home of Steamtown situated at the western end of the Main Street. Steamtown's collection includes steam and diesel locomotives, passenger carriages and many freight wagons.
The depot turntable is the only three gauge example in the world. The Roundhouse is the last major example of its kind in South Australia.
Historic passenger carriages include fine examples of the cars used on the first transcontinental passenger train to cross the Nullabor Plain in 1917. There are also many unique vehicles open for inspection.
The opening of the Peterborough Heritage Museum in 2002 has added a further dimension to a tour of Steamtown. Containing many artefacts and old photographs, the Heritage Museum offers a picture of railway life in the early days of Peterborough.
