Up Close with a Steam Locomotive

March 8, 9, 10

On March 8, 9, and 10, you can get up close to locomotive R766 when it refuels between trips to Bungendore! Visitors can take photos of the engine in steam while it's topped up with oil and water, and our friendly volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions. It's also a rare opportunity for visitors to walk through the storage yard, an area normally closed to the public!

Seeing the locomotive refuel is included in standard admission to the Canberra Railway Museum, so why not check out our collection while you're there! You can find us at 2 Geijera Place, Kingston, just a 5 minute drive from the railway station!

Refuelling sessions take place at: 10:30am-12pm, 2:45pm-3:30pm. Please note these are indicative and subject to change at short notice

Visitors with strollers or mobility impairments, please note it is a roughly 300m walk from the museum entrance to the refuelling point.
