[edit] Status
The museum was opened very briefly in 1986, but has been described as "not yet open to the public" ever since.
[edit] History
The museum's origins stem from the creation of Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum Ltd. in 1973 which formed following the closure of the Glenreagh - Dorrigo branch line the previous year to preserve and restore the 69 km as a tourist railway.[1]
