Jul 22, 1915: Sir Sandford Fleming, one of the most important figures in Canadian railway development, dies at home in Ottawa at the age of 88. Long a resident of Toronto, Fleming had been present at the sod-turning for the Ontario, Simcoe & Huron Railway in 1851. 1/3
Want to get up close to locomotive 6213? Join us for a guided tour of the rolling stock in Roundhouse Park. Tours are available daily and are included with admission to the museum.
Unlike most museums, the Toronto Railway Museum washes its collection! Thank you to our volunteers who do our train washing. Originally the John Street Roundhouse had a location for washing locomotives, but it was removed during the development of Roundhouse Park.
