The Roundhouse Park Miniature Railway (RPMR) is a 7.25″ gauge passenger-carrying miniature railway that allows visitors an interesting perspective of Roundhouse Park. The miniature railway provides a revenue source to the Museum as well as a vibrant interactive experience.

The RPMR is an important addition to the park providing a mix of education and just plain fun for visitors of all ages. The miniature steam railway offers rides with tracks which loop through the park starting from Don Station and passing all major exhibits in a gentle scenic ride. Visitors can see, hear and smell exact working replicas of historic steam and diesel locomotives, functioning precisely as did their larger cousins at the head of their trains on Canada’s railway network.
