National Railway Museum

Col. Steve Davies MBE, Deputy Commander of the International Military Advisory Training Team (IMATT) in Sierra Leone, founded the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum in his leisure time with a team of fifteen young unemployed Sierra Leoneans. Together, they have turned an abandoned locomotive shed into the country's first railway museum, when the State railway was decommissioned in 1974. (and second national museum). It contains a carriage built for HM The Queen's State Visit in 1961. Today, the museum is among the most beautiful historical sites in Sierra Leone.

A museum for people who have never seen or heard a train. A museum that will provide jobs and skill transfer to Sierra Leoneans who are learning from the global community. A museum that will remind people of their common heritage; a railway that will connect people's lives from coast to mountain plain. A museum that will make you happy. A museum that will help stimulate investment in one of the world's poorest countries. Despite all odds, the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum is a growth engine.
