heritage railway

Heritage railways are preserved train services that operate historical locomotives and carriages, often on original tracks. They serve to showcase and maintain the history of rail transport, allowing visitors to experience travel as it was in the past. Typically run by volunteers or non-profit organizations, these railways offer scenic rides and educational opportunities about the technological and cultural significance of trains. Many heritage railways celebrate local history and often feature events, themed rides, and attractions, contributing to tourism and community engagement while preserving important pieces of transportation history.
