Elgin County Railway Museum, Railway museum in St. Thomas, Canada.
The Elgin County Railway Museum occupies a former railroad station building and displays locomotives, train cars, and railway equipment from different eras. The site includes multiple trains and cars visible both indoors and outdoors across the expanded grounds.
The building dates from 1913 when it served as a Michigan Central Railroad locomotive repair workshop. It was later converted to preserve and display this rail history for visitors.
The museum reflects how railways shaped the region's growth and connected communities that relied on regular train service. You can see the marks these trains left on local development and how they changed life here.
The best time to visit is during warmer months when outdoor areas are comfortable to explore. Parking is available on site and staff can guide you through the collection and grounds.
One locomotive on display is a rare model variant that was built only once in history. This engine represents an unusual chapter in train manufacturing that you will not see elsewhere.
