Attraction - Building and Structure, Galleries, Museums and Collections, Historic Site

The Railway Museum building was erected in 1905, from sandstone quarried from the Block 114 Mine Lease, replacing the original timber and iron station built in 1888.

The Silverton Tramway Company operated a private narrow gauge railway system between Broken Hill and Cockburn (on the South Australian border) from 1888 to 1970.

In 1970, following the introduction by the Commonwealth Government of the standard gauge system, the Silverton Tramway Company's Railway services were discontinued.

See the Comet Train Engine, which is now housed in the museum and imagine what it was like in its hey-day!

The museum also houses the hospital museum, the migration museum and has an extensive mineral collection.

The Broken Hill Migrant Museum was set up by the Broken Hill Migrant Heritage Committee Inc.

Broken Hill is more than a landscape and old buildings - it is the people that make it special and the Broken Hill exhibition gives the local people a voice and tells their stories.
