Northern Ontario Railroad Museum and Heritage Centre

The Museum House

Our museum comes in 2 convenience parts- the main building, which used to be the home of the Canadian National Superintendent and a large full scale railway exhibit on the grounds. In the building we have rooms devoted to railways, mining, forestry and heritage of the region, as well as a tea room and gift shop. Included in the exhibit is a 4-8-2 steam locomotive built in 1944; a passenger car built as a sleeping care in 1912, now fitted out as a northern Ontario school car; two locomotives; a slag port car; two cabooses; a baggage car; a snowplow and even a boxcar home showing how people once lived. Meanwhile, huge modern freight trains and a transcontinental passenger train roll by our back door. Visit, enjoy our hospitality and discover what real railroading is all about.
