The East Anglian Railway Museum is a volunteer-run railway museum located at Chappel & Wakes Colne station in north Essex, England. It preserves rolling stock, signalling equipment and historic railway buildings connected to local branch-line history.

The museum houses preserved steam and diesel locomotives, carriages and a range of railway artefacts. A short demonstration line runs preserved trains on selected days, and the site stages events such as gala days and thematic open weekends.

The museum formed when enthusiasts moved to save the station and local branch-line heritage, expanding their collection and facilities over time. Buildings on site have been restored to represent operational railway infrastructure.

Situated at Chappel & Wakes Colne on the historic Colne Valley branch-line corridor in Essex, the museum is reachable from nearby towns in north Essex and is a regional heritage attraction for rail enthusiasts.

• Operating trains: a short stretch of preserved track is used to run heritage trains on selected event days; opening times and operating days vary seasonally so check ahead before visiting.
