About
The award-winning Whitehead Railway Museum is a must-see for anyone of any age with an interest in trains, railway heritage or local history. The five galleries include a signal box where you can pull the levers to change a signal. You can see the giants of steam close up and stroll through historic carriages including the saloons in which Queens and Presidents once travelled.
You can hop on board the footplate of a 100-year-old steam engine and see what life was like for the train driver. Don't miss the viewing gallery giving you a bird’s eye view of the locomotive workshops around which the museum is wrapped.
Learn how the development of the railways transformed society by giving people access to far-off towns and villages, plus seaside resorts. And see a special display about the key role trains played in transporting barrels of stout around the country.
Entry to the museum is free for EHOD on September 13.
In addition, there will be an opportunity to take a short pay-for trip up and down the siding on a steam train (£5 adults £3 children). The train departs every 30 minutes from 11:00 until 14:30 apart from 13:00.
No need to book for the free visit to the museum but tickets for the train can be pre-booked by using the museum's steamtrainsireland.ticketsolve.com website https://steamtrainsireland.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows or Visit Belfast at visitbelfast.com
For refreshments, be sure to call in at our Cups & Carriages cafe which serves everything from morning coffee to lunch and afternoon tea. So make tracks for Whitehead Railway Museum, a visit to remember.
