The Railway Heritage Park is a railway museum at New Tinsukia Junction railway station, in Assam, India, opened in 2010. The museum is bordered by National Highway 37.
The open-air museum was designed for children to play, and is themed around three historic railways in the Northeast Frontier Railway zone—the Assam Bengal Railway (ABR), Dibru–Sadiya Railway (DSR) and Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR).
The creation of the museum was inspired by a visit the Oil Centenary Museum at Digboi in 2008.
