Online Exhibit: On the Rails

The Toronto Railway Museum is pleased to announce the launch of On the Rails: The Experiences of Toronto’s Railway Workers, a new digital exhibit. The online project is available to the public beginning on June 2, 2023 and was developed with funding from the Digital Museums Canada investment program.

On the Rails explores the unique and everyday challenges of Toronto’s past and current railway workers. Hop aboard to discover the jobs of Canada’s sleeping car porters, the behind-the-scenes duties at Union Station, and other first-hand experiences of railway professionals.
