Join me for an explore around the grounds of Old Tailem Town to uncover what bits and pieces of South Australian railway history they have stashed away down the back of town.
Of particular interest are the early 1900s station buildings from Peake, Monarto South, and Murray Bridge.
Established in 1979 and opened in 1988, the 'town' is full of buildings dragged back from across the state and rebuilt. Entire buildings have been recreated to tell different stories and they all house a trove of knick knacky treasures, tools, machinery, signage, and vehicles.
You can't see just how much railway history there is in here from the road as you flash by but there’s more train related stuff inside the village than you think.
There’s plenty to explore for all kinds of history buffs. The entrance fee is well worth it.
