News and Events

The Museum has won a Transport Heritage NSW Grant to restore the windows in our 1937 TAM sleeping car. The TAM also served as Junee Accident Van accommodating the crew of the accident train. For many years it was parked outside the Roundhouse waiting for duty. Its beautiful timber windows suffered some damage but will now be restored. We thank Transport Heritage NSW and the Royal Australian Historical Society for the grant.

Junee in southern New South Wales is home to one of few working railway roundhouses in the Southern Hemisphere.

When opened in 1947, it was a state-of-the-art steam locomotive facility.  Since 1994, the Roundhouse has seen a new lease of life. Half is now used for the museum, while the other portion is used for its original purpose of servicing and re-conditioning locomotives and rolling stock.
