Toronto Photo Gallery - Halton County Radial Railway

Located along the actual Guelph railway line that once connected with Toronto, this museum hosts a number of trains, streetcars, and buses. The museum ates from the 1950s to save a retired Toronto streetcar, and its collection has grown since.

The museum is not open everyday and is staffed with volunteers who have lots of stories to share and are likely enthusiasts themselves. Engage them and learn more about the vehicles and the museum.

Toronto retired its last Canadian Light Rail Vehicles (CLRV) in 2019 after 42 years of service. A few of them have been preserved at this museum, and if you are lucky, can ride on them along the old railway line as part of the museum admission.

On the day I visited, there were 3 different types of streetcars running along the short line.

"Rockwood" station also has some artifacts inside and is a good example of what an old train station looked like.

There is a barn with many old vehicles stored inside.

What's this Chicago subway train doing here?

This Toronto subway vehicle model has also retired, replaced with new trainsets that are connected and allowing people to pass through.

This London Street Railway vehicle was built in 1901.
