Rail Heritage WA was the first rail preservation group formed in WA.
Our members and volunteers have been working to preserve and present WA's railway heritage since 1959.

Help please!

After a fantastic response from the Western Australian community to our ‘Raise the Roof’ launch, we are now seeking partnerships, sponsorships and in-kind support to enable infrastructure community grants to build a preservation and maintenance facility and additional roof cover at the Railway Museum.

This is now critical with the impact of increased frequency of extreme weather events. As a registered charity, your donations are tax deductible. We are seeking campaign donations, letters of intent to fund and in-kind support. Your contribution is needed to support our application for community infrastructure grants in 2026.

Please contact us for more information and bespoke proposals. More details can be found in this brochure RHWA Under Cover and Under Care.
