A heritage railway is a railway operated as living history to re-create or preserve railway scenes of the past. Heritage railways are often old railway lines preserved in a state depicting a period (or periods) in the history of rail transport.

While some heritage railways are profitable tourist attractions, many are not-for-profit entities.
