The National Railway Museum of New Zealand is a planned museum at 60 Ferrymead Park Drive, Ferrymead, Christchurch 8022, rated 4.0 from 1 review. The website says the first stage will open in Christchurch as funding allows, so it is not yet open to visitors. The website describes its aim to preserve New Zealand's railway heritage, and notes that Ferrymead already has a heritage museum with an operational railway on much of the original track. Membership and a free newsletter are offered, along with a copy service for photographs and documents, where a request is made by enquiry form. For railway enthusiasts in Christchurch, the Ferrymead site is a place to follow the museum's progress and to learn about the first public line from 1863.
