Founded in 1953, Halton County Radial Railway is Canada’s first, and Ontario’s only, operating electric railway museum. Situated at Stop 92 on the former right-of-way of the Toronto Suburban Railway, we offer the opportunity to enjoy a trip down memory lane with rides on a variety of restored street cars, radial and work cars, through 2 kilometers of scenic woodlands. Settle back to the creak of the leather seats and the clang of the gong as your car carries you back to a period around the turn of the century.

Included in the museums head-quarters is a snack bar, our well stocked gift shop with souvenirs, videos, books, pictures, postcards, plus much more. Admission tickets may be purchased here which are good for unlimited rides on day of purchase, and an opportunity to get a close-up view of the various pieces of equipment that have been preserved, or are in the process of restoration.

The former Canadian National Railways Rockwood station, built in 1912 for the Grand Trunk Railway, was re-located to the museum in October 1971 and now serves as the west-end station. View the various railway related items that are displayed inside. Examine the cast iron stoves, and enjoy the smell and warmth of a wood fire when they are used to heat the station on cool days.

The whole family will enjoy the quiet beauty of rural Ontario in this unique setting. Be sure to bring your camera, and/or video camera, as well as a picnic lunch. The Halton County Radial Railway Museum is the perfect spot to spend a few hours, or all day.
