Railway Museum is a privately owned working museum established
on a farm at Burnham on Crouch, Essex. It features a ¾ mile standard
gauge passenger carrying line, with restored stations, signal boxes and
ancillary equipment removed from various sites throughout East Anglia.
To operate the line the Museum has 10 steam and diesel locomotives and
over 80 carriages and wagons, some of considerable historic and technical
interest.
To complement the working railway the Museum has a collection of smaller
railway relics which is one of the largest of its kind in Britain.
This collection contains historic items connected with every aspect of
railway operation and has a particular bias towards the railways of East
Anglia and railway signalling - in fact the signalling collection is believed
to be the largest on public display in Britain.
The Railway and Museum are owned and operated by the Jolly family assisted
by a dedicated staff of volunteers.
