Sydney Tramway Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sydney Tramway Museum is an operating tramway museum, located in Loftus in the southern suburbs of Sydney, Australia.
Besides an extensive collection of trams from Sydney and other Australian and world cities, the tramway museum includes two running lines radiating from the museum. One line runs 1.5 km north almost to Sutherland railway station, paralleling a suburban highway in a way typical of Sydney's previous tram system.
The second utilises a former railway branch line to penetrate 2 km into the Royal National Park that flanks Sydney's southern boundary. This line was previously an extention of CityRail's Illawarra railway line, but the suburban railway line closed in 1991, and Waterfall replaced the station as terminus for the line.
