SILVER STREAM RAILWAY

Silver Stream Railway's mission is to restore and preserve heritage railway memorabilia - in particular items that relate to the Wellington region... The beginnings of Silver Stream Railway were in 1967 when the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society (which changed is name to Silver Stream Railway Incorporated in 1983) began a collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Track-laying on the old formation of the Hutt Valley Line did not begin until 1977. The collection of locomotives and rolling stock had previously been stored at a site by the Grace-field Branch in Seaview, and this was transferred to the present Silverstream site in 1984. The official opening of the full 1.5 kilometre track took place on 15 February 1986... A working railway museum with one of New Zealands most comprehensive and largest collections of preserved and operating steam and diesel locomotives.
