The Silver Stream Railway is located on Reynolds Bach Dr in Upper Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. Silver Stream Railway is a working heritage railway and is open on Sundays 11am to 4pm for train rides.

Silver Steam Railway's mission is to restore and preserve heritage railway memorabilia - in particular items that relate to the Wellington region.

We are open to the public for rides most Sundays of the year with a steam locomotive in service, supplemented by diesel locomotive or railcar.

About

The Silver Stream Railway is a heritage railway at Silverstream in the Hutt Valley near Wellington, New Zealand. It regularly operates preserved New Zealand Railways and industrial steam and diesel locomotives along a restored section of the Hutt Valley Line (part of the Wairarapa Line) before a deviation was built in 1954.

History

The beginnings of the Silver Stream Railway were in 1967 when the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society began a collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Tracklaying on the old formation of the Hutt Valley Line did not begin until 1977. The collection of locomotives and rolling stock had previously been stored at a site by the Gracefield Branch in Seaview, and this was transferred to the present Silverstream site in 1984. The official opening of the full 1.5 kilometre track took place on 15 February 1986.
