Heritage architecture

Our buildings

An exquisitely preserved 1909 station precinct — plus rare surviving light-railway buildings that anchor the collection.

Alexandra Railway Station (1909)

Restored
The centrepiece of the site — an early-twentieth-century broad-gauge station with platform, canopy and offices, painted and repaired in 2020 with support from the Murrindindi Shire.

Goods shed

In use
Now doubles as a store for smaller locomotives and carriages, and as a railway museum and workshop space.

Ruoak locomotive shed (1936)

Relocated 1995
A large double-track engine shed built by the Ruoak Lumber Company at the nearby Alexandra sawmill in 1936 to house the two Kelly & Lewis diesel locomotives. Relocated to the station site in 1995 — one of only two surviving light-railway locomotive sheds in Victoria.

Single men's huts

Educational display
Four replica timber-workers' huts built by the Rotary Club of Alexandra, depicting the basic life of the sawmillers.

Souvenir & parcel rooms

Open on running days
Home to our Rails-to-Rubicon book sales, souvenirs and the digital screening of the Rails to Rubicon documentary.

Memorial garden & picnic area

Always open
A sheltered barbecue and table setting with a perfect view of the railway.
