Railway Society of Newfoundland.

The Railway Society of Newfoundland is a non-profit organization located in Corner Brook, NL dedicated to preserving the rich history of the railway system in Newfoundland. The society operates a museum that showcases artifacts, photographs, and information about the railway and its impact on the province.

The railway played a crucial role in the development of Newfoundland, connecting isolated communities and providing a means of transportation for goods and people. Its construction also brought thousands of workers to the province, creating a boom in the economy. However, with the decline of the fishing industry and advancements in transportation technology, the railway ceased operations in 1988.

The museum offers a unique opportunity for tourists and visitors to learn about this important part of Newfoundland's history. Through interactive exhibits and guided tours, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the impact the railway had on the province and its people. The society also organizes special events and train rides for the public, allowing them to experience the nostalgia of riding on a historical train. By preserving this important piece of Newfoundland's heritage, the Railway Society of Newfoundland offers an educational and entertaining experience for visitors of all ages.
