Heritage railway preservation involves the restoration and maintenance of historic trains and railway lines to keep them operational for public enjoyment and education. This practice helps to celebrate the history of rail transport, showcasing the engineering and design of past eras. Many heritage railways operate as tourist attractions, offering rides on vintage locomotives and carriages. Organizations and volunteers often work together to restore old trains, tracks, and stations, ensuring that they remain in good condition. These efforts not only preserve cultural heritage but also promote local tourism and community engagement, allowing people to experience the charm of steam locomotives and historic railways.
