 An Exceptional Collection
Over the past fifty years, the Canadian Railroad Historical Association has gathered and preserved many unique archival documents and railway objects bearing witness to the key role played by railways in the development of Canada. These artifacts also evoke the many skills and challenging working conditions of thousands of railway workers.
Objects and documents were acquired through donations from railway companies and private collectors, most of whom worked in the railway industry. Today, the Museum's specialized collection includes over 250,000 objects and documents and is recognized by governments as being of national interest. The collection features many unique artifacts representing a key period, event, organization or person in the history of Canadian railway technology since 1836.
