An exhibition is celebrating the 175th anniversary of Wokingham station's opening.
The display, featuring photographs, posters, and timetables, will be held at the Bradbury Centre, Rose Street, from October 16.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 10am to 1pm, Tuesday to Friday.
John Soer, chairman of the Wokingham Methodist Railway and Transport Club, said: "I hope people will enjoy the pictures and artefacts our club has brought together."
Wokingham station, which opened on July 4, 1849, initially served trains from Reading to Farnborough North.
The through line via Guildford to Redhill, and then to London Bridge, opened later that year on October 15.
The exhibition will showcase images from the station's history, including the station being rebuilt twice.
The exhibition will also feature handbills from the 19th century advertising special excursions.
It will also feature photos of numerous passenger and freight trains, including the 'Sussex Scot' and Ramsgate to Birkenhead steam trains.
