'AN EXERCISE IN NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE'
The Kerrisdale Mountain Railway is situated in the north east corner of the Tallarook Ranges, north central Victoria, Australia, the KMR is a unique railway built to two foot (610 mm) gauge on a zig -zag formation. To gain the maximum height within the shortest distance, steep grades and tight curves also abound.
The railway and museum has been developed by a group of dedicated volunteers over a twelve year period and is a not for profit incorporated body. All proceeds are put back into the development and running of this facility.
