In 1972 the Cambrian Railways Society was formed to preserve whatever it could of Oswestry's railways. The Society is based in their depot in the former Cambrian Railways goods yard where they have an extensive museum. They have and set out to 'maintain a living continuance of the railways historical presence in a town steeped with railway history.'

In 1998 the Cambrian Railways Trust came into being with similar aims to the Cambrian Railways Society.
