About: Canadian National Railway steam engine 6218 is the cornerstone artifact of the Fort Erie Railway Museum. Built in 1942, the 4-8-4 wheel configuration Northern type served well into the 1960s. It is a reminder of days past when Fort Erie boasted the third-largest rail yard in Canada. The exhibits feature a variety of artifacts, including tools and telegraphic equipment. The original Grand Trunk Station from Ridgeway and the B-1 Station from Fort Erie were moved to the Railway Museum site. The B-1 Station serves as an office and gift shop. The Ridgeway Station houses the indoor exhibits.

Current exhibits include: “The Romance and Reality” and “Tourist and Excursion Lines in Fort Erie”.
