The outside of the building doesn't look the nicest, inside though it's awesome. There is railroad memorabilia everywhere. The train cars and engines that they do have have been beautifully restored and are all on display. I couldn't believe the size of the old steam engine, it's definitely worth checking out.
Very interesting. Lots to see. Items in various stages of restoration. Model of the area, with running model trains, in one of the rooms. Steam engine, diesels, rolling stock, various other historical and current railway-related items. Friendly, helpful staff.
Visited June 02 2018. Was fourth visit in 2 years. Children aged 6,4,3 thoroughly enjoyed. Was pleasantly surprised this visit to be helped by a Summer student (wish I knew her name). She was spectacular and connected well with the boys. The museum has recently opened more exhibits that we enjoyed. Will be back.
Attended the Beerlesque show. Nice to see this caliber of entertainment in St. Thomas. Beer tasting samples led us to some new favorites. They could have done a better job with the lighting and more food vendors. The railway museum is coming along; a work in progress from what I understand. It's a huge building so they need to do more to make it seem less cavernous. I doubt they have a huge budget though so it's understandable if that takes a few years. Again, it's really nice to have something like this in St. Thomas. I think it helps to keep tourism dollars local.
Amazing place to see old steam engines and learn about railway history of Ontario. Nearby Day out with Thomas annual event, we got free admissions when purchased the Thomas event!
