Silver Stream Railway Museum

A large collection of steam locomotives run on part of the original 1875 Wellington-Wairarapa line around the foothills of Silverstream.  

The Silver Stream Railway was incorporated in 1967 and has a strong membership comprised entirely of volunteers.  

The Society's policy of preserving and restoring railway items has resulted in an extensive collection of operational equipment.
