Description

You are about to visit one of Canada’s most unique museums. Exporail’s collection of railway material is the largest in Canada and one of the most important in the world. Discover the fascinating world of trains… and an unforgettable railway experience.

Exporail’s new exhibit pavilion showcases 44 historic pieces of rolling stock in a spectacular climate-controlled 90,000-square-foot building. With a total of over 160 streetcars, interurban railway cars and locomotives, Exporail is recognised as one of the world’s most important railway museums – and is, bar none, the largest such collection in Canada.

MTC streetcar 1959 will be back for the summer of 2007, running every day from 10 AM to 4 pm.

The "John Molson" locomotive, a replica of an 1849 steam engine locomotive, is used for demonstrations on occasion throughout the summer.

Barrington Station, an example of a rural flag stop station from southwestern Quebec, brings visitors back to the nineteenth century.

Other vehicles from the collection are on view in the railway yard; Visitors will frequently see railway cars and locomotives in motion. You will feel the sensation of being in a real operating rail yard.
