Fell Locomotive Museum
The tiny town of Featherston is worth a stop for this museum, which contains the last remaining Fell locomotive in the world, along with photos, models, and memorabilia. Built in 1875 and expertly restored, the engine is one of only six that clawed their way up the notorious Remutaka Incline. The museum is open to the public on weekends, but tours can be booked for any day of the week. Call ahead; at the time of this writing, it was temporarily closed due to work on the building.
