The Railway Memorial in front of the Y Class Locomotive in the Main Street of Peterborough was officially unveiled on the 19th of June 2005. The purpose of the memorial is to acknowledge the railway employees who passed away at work and were living in Peterborough at the time.

The walkway leading up to and surrounding the memorial consists of engraved pavers purchased by family/friends of railway employees who have worked in Peterborough from 1881 to the present day. The pavers consist of the persons name, what they did and the years that they served in the railways in Peterborough. It is estimated that there has been in excess of 10,000 individual railway workers pass through the town in that time.

There are pavers being added to this walkway on a regular basis. If you would like to purchase a paver for this memorial please print out the paver form and send it to the District Council Office (108 Main Street, Peterborough, South Australia 5422).
