We're looking to hear from you! In the coming months we will be working on our Strategic Plan. As part of this process, we're looking to hear from our visitors to gauge where the museum is at and where it could be. Please share your thoughts at: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Our museum's first carbarn was still under construction in this 1960 photo taken by Robert Sandusky. This was about 6 years since the first two streetcars, 1326 and 55, arrived at the property for preservation. Robert was one of our Founding Members and recently passed away.

Our museum wouldn't have been created if it weren't for the efforts of our Founding Members. Here are four of them attending a National Railway Historical Society visit on July 25th, 1980. Left to right: Ron Cooper, John Mills, Robert Sandusky, and Jack Knowles.

Fairy Lake in Acton, Ontario, once had a bridge for the Toronto Suburban Railway (TSR)'s Guelph Line. Service ended in 1931 and the bridge was dismantled in 1935. Today some wood supports remain in the water and are visible from Fairy Lake Lookout.
