The Goulburn Roundhouse was saved from demolition by the Goulburn Locomotive Roundhouse Preservation Society.[1]
The roundhouse is now run as Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre, a museum open to the public with large collection of rolling stock and various exhibits, as well as privately owned locomotives and carriages.[2]
History
Following the completion of the first railway from Sydney to Parramatta Junction in 1855, proposals for the first railways to the rest of NSW included a line to the inland centre of Goulburn. A single line from Marulan to Goulburn opened on 27 May 1869.[3]
Associated railway structures at Goulburn included the goods shed (1868), the carriage shed (1869), engine shed (1869), a coal stage, water pump, turntable, and the Station Master’s residence (1870)[4]
The Roundhouse was constructed of brick and corrugated iron in 1918 with a 90-foot electrically operated turntable.
