Mission
The Toronto Railway Museum is the repository of the City’s vibrant railway history. Our mission is simple: to connect people to the secret history of rail in Toronto and tell the story of those who propelled the city from sleepy town into our nation’s economic engine.
Vision
Our museum will become a space to inform, educate, and inspire. We will connect the story of Toronto’s unparalleled growth to its railway past, present, and future, while providing a fun, memorable, and equitable experience for every guest.
