Railway Museum

Lots of interesting local railway history!"

Explore Fort Erie's rich railway heritage at the Fort Erie Railway Museum.

Canadian National Railway steam engine 6218 takes center stage. Built in 1942, this impressive 4-8-4 Northern-type locomotive is a reminder of the era when Fort Erie was home to the third-largest rail yard in Canada.

Visitors can explore displays and a gift shop in two historic stations relocated to the site: the original Grand Trunk Station from Ridgeway, and Fort Erie's B-1 Station.

New exhibits and site updates are coming soon!
