Welcome to the official website of the Alexandra Timber Tramway.
The Alexandra Timber Tramway is a steam railway and logging museum situated in the township of Alexandra in north-east Victoria. The main objectives of the ATT are to:
- Recreate the bush sawmill and tramway era of the Rubicon Forest 1900-1950
- Rescue and restore a wide range of small industrial locomotives and rolling stock
- Operate a safe and viable tourist attraction for the benefit of Alexandra and district
The Alexandra Timber Tramway grew out of the Alexandra & District Historical Society and was incorporated as a not-for-profit association in December 1985. Our volunteers started with one operational locomotive, a short section of track, and the run-down station buildings at Alexandra. Since then, we have progressed to eight operational locomotives, one kilometre of track and a refurbished station building. Additional facilities include a locomotive depot, a carriage storage facility, a fully fitted-out mechanical workshop, and new toilet and picnic facilities.
While there is much to see at the Alexandra Timber Tramway for the railway enthusiast, the ATT is primarily aimed at families and tour groups wanting a fun day out for themselves and their children. Kids love to ride our trains, while adults will find much of interest in our three display rooms and our numerous outdoor exhibits.
Thank you for visiting our website and, remember, there’s even more to see on a real visit!
