The idea of a national museum of transport began to take shape in 1957 soon after closure of the electric tramways in Wanganui, Invercargill, New Plymouth, Christchurch, Dunedin and Auckland during 1950–56. Beginning with Auckland tram No.253, the Old Time Transport Preservation League began to assemble examples of our national transport heritage at Matakohe, 150km north of Auckland.

With the establishment of MOTAT at Western Springs in 1963, the vision of an operating museum tramway approached reality. Operation began on 16 December 1967 over the first length of track (inside the museum grounds from the Pumphouse). The 1.1km line along the Park boundary to the Auckland Zoo opened in 1981. Construction of a 900m extension to the Aviation Museum at Meola Road was completed in May 2007.
