Brisbane Tramway Museum

In 1972, a site at Ferny Grove was made available and a museum built, opening in June 1980.

[3] The museum's collection of support vehicles are all former Brisbane City Council Tramways Department vehicles and include a tower wagon used for repairing overhead wires, and a Scammell breakdown recovery truck which was formerly used as an artillery towing truck in World War II.

The museum houses an extensive photographic collection of Brisbane's tramway and street transport heritage, together with tickets and uniforms worn by staff of the tramway operators, a feature of which were the unusual "Foreign legion" caps (more correctly called kepis) worn by drivers and conductors until 1961 and inspectors until more recently.

An elevated signal cabin which stood at the corner of Brunswick and Wickham Streets, Fortitude Valley has also been preserved.

The cost of such mass concrete trackwork being one the reason why the museum has been unable to extend their length of track after numerous efforts.

The museum also houses a unique three-way set of points that was originally located at Light Street depot.
