Memory Junction Railway Museum, Railway museum in Brighton, Canada

The Memory Junction Railway Museum displays collections of locomotives, railway cars, and transportation equipment in a renovated Grand Trunk Railway station building.

The museum occupies the former Grand Trunk Railway station of Brighton, which opened in 1857 and served passengers until the closure of intercity rail service in the 1960s.

Local residents Ralph and Eugenia Bangay established the museum in 1995 to preserve Brighton's railway heritage through artifacts and educational displays.

The museum operated until 2017, when it closed its doors, and in 2021 the entire collection of railway memorabilia was sold through a public auction.

The museum collection included a 1906 Grand Trunk steam locomotive and multiple railway cars positioned at the intersection of three major Canadian railway lines.
