Overview

"Railway Witnesses: Memory of a Nation" is an exhibition which highlights the important role played by railway companies in Canada’s history for 175 years. From the beginning, the arrival of the railway filled the need for travel in any season. With an iron hand, the railways initiated a chain of events that would help build the country. Its various achievements not only affected the lives of the population, they also transformed the political landscape and economy. Come and discover what dramatic changes the people experienced since the beginning of the railway in 1836.
