New Brunswick Railway Museum, Railway museum in Hillsborough, Canada.

The New Brunswick Railway Museum occupies the former Hillsborough station, a one-and-a-half-storey building with light grey horizontal siding, a gable roof and a grey metal awning on white diagonal braces. Its collection centres on the last remaining steam engine of the line, with passenger cars and diesel locomotives displayed around the station.

The site was established in 1982 when railroad enthusiasts acquired a former Canadian National track segment that had previously served a gypsum quarry. This effort preserved equipment and local railway history that might otherwise have disappeared.

The museum reflects how the railway shaped the local community and economy through gypsum extraction and regional trade. Visitors see the connection between train operations and the working life of Hillsborough residents.

The museum occupies the former Hillsborough station on the old CN line; the building carries the number 2847 and a HILLSBORO sign above the door, reached by concrete steps. Exhibits are static since 2005, so allow time to walk the grounds and read the displays. The site is run by volunteers of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association, New Brunswick Division.

The museum keeps the last remaining steam engine of the railway line, and the collection grew from the Salem and Hillsborough Railroad founded in 1982. A 1994 fire destroyed the engine-house, several engines, carriages and the historical records, so much of the early paperwork is gone.
