Elsewhere on this site, we describe the larger artifacts in the collection of the museum such as buildings, passenger cars, locomotives and freight cars. However, the majority of our collection is comprised of far smaller artifacts. You may find some of these on display in one of a few locations in Roundhouse Park. Most are located in the museum itself inside the roundhouse, while others are in display cases in Cabin D. The vast majority remain in storage until we can determine the best way to display and interpret them with the limited space we are working with. Below you can find a list of the smaller artifacts we have in our collection, detailing their histories and significance to railway history in Toronto.
Do you have a railway artifact you wish to donate? Please contact us.
