Old Colony & Fall River Railroad Museum

The museum contains four historic train cars, including a Pennsylvania Railroad P-70B, a New Haven RDC, a New York Central Caboose, and a New Haven Boxcar.

Founded in 1986, the museum documented the Old Colony Railroad system that operated from 1845 to 1893, connecting Boston with Plymouth and other Massachusetts cities.

The exhibits highlight the integration of land and maritime transport through the Fall River Line, which combined rail travel with ferry services to New York City.

Located at 2 Water Street near Battleship Cove, the museum operated for thirty years until its closure in 2016 due to declining visitor numbers.

The museum stood directly across from the former Fall River Line Terminal, where Old Colony's boat trains provided connections between Boston and New York City.
