Reviews of Railway Society of Newfoundland (Museum)

David Kemp

It's great to see some of the railway is being preserved.

RUSSELL HENNINGER SR

Got here right early and they don't open till Ten Am. Love these old locomotives, climbing on to some of these railcars I thought to myself the number of men a d hours they worked on these trains is Incredible.

Bob Edwards

Great history of the NL Railway.

Jassie S.

A cool site to visit when you're in the town of Corner Brook. You can view the history of the trains and the rail tracks. A nice place to stop by for a visit for the family and get inside some very old trains. Quite historical and it's a museum. Would recommend for a family for sure.

Kevin Young

I love this place! What an awesome part of history for the province and the local area!

Gian Delgado-Aspiazu

Interesting museum about the lost Newfoundland train

John Van Hal

Very nice place cool trains, just to bad they did not keep the track. Could have turned line into tourist train.

Chicken Mama

A good place for photo

Tom Mc Gean

Interesting

Rodrigue Boudreau

Great memories.

David Bouwkamp

I love museums where things aren't so perfect and you can still touch things. There's enough to see without taking a lot of time. Half an hour is enough to feel like you've had a decent experience. For $3 admission, you are made a member of the Railway Society of Newfoundland. We appreciated the staff giving us a photo of a faux ceremony where we officially became members. Kind of like being screeched in, but without drinking anything or kissing a train.

Natasha Mahoney

Its beautiful

Emilie Martel

The train (and snowplow Loco) is a very cool piece of Newfoundland history! The train was being repainted when we dropped by and so we couldn’t get in, but still an excellent use of our time in Corner Brook.

A grrat historic sire to visit

Michael E Galello

Would recommend all day long, great museum for adults and kids. Check out the snow plow car.

Calvin Russell

I visit this place in the off-season just to get some pictures. I know during the summer they do have tours of the inside of the train, and history about it. Never been on this tour so I can't comment on it. And I don't know, if there's a fee or not. I'm thinking it's a donation type tour.

Wilkins Winsor

Very cheap! Very worth it

Sarah Button

Had a great tour from a very knowledgeable employee. Short but enjoyable visit! Would visit again and highly recommend.

Stephen Adams

A small museum very appropriate for children and enthusiasts who want to climb aboard rail equipment.

Adam s

One of the few places you can see trains from the old railway. Interesting!

Devon Parsons

Great tourist destination!

Wiggert VH

Great place to visit when in Corner Brook. NL history at it's best.

mark hickey

Great short tour of the trains. Easy for kids for something to do and very affordable. Highly recommend for the price and information

Amber P

Wow. It is so cool being able to walk through a train and see how it was. The Newfie bullet and the information about the last NFLD trains is informative.

Brennan Coldwell

A must visit for railway buffs.

Gerard Manning

Nice to see the old Train. One thing you will notice is that the seats on the train are much more comfy than anything on airplanes these days. My young son really enjoyed the walk through and getting in all the seats.

Anderson de Alencar Barros

Nice view. I recommend a visit

Val Shay

Interesting exhibit. Really awesome trains to walk through. Well worth the $3. Fun for the whole family.

meh Brake

very fun! sad we couldn't see inside the food court through the windows but still a very fun time passer

Derrick Jamieson

Nice pleasant stop for any railway enthusiast.

David Doucette

A great place to experience some NL history. The Newfie Bullet is on display, as well as hands on tours of the passenger rail cars. Our family range in age from 14 to 57, and everyone enjoyed the visit.

Tony Scott

Visited many years ago, and stopped by again with my son so he could learn a little about trains in NL. The tour was offered by a student who did a fantastic job. A very inexpensive tour.

Dave Webber

I worked on these units except the engine steam locomotive

Audrey Froude

Awesome

Spencer Chaulk

Place didn't open until 10 website said 8... Even then workers didn't show until 1015.

Ian Brenton

A lovely little museum of the history, or a portion thereof, of the railway in Newfoundland. Our rails were torn up years ago but the rich history of the railway shouldn't be lost to time. The staff were young, but knowledgeable of the trains and their history. Sadly, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, there are no guided tours this summer, but the staff is happy to answer any questions you may have.

Gregory Burt

Informative

Bernice Bray

It was nice to see a part of the past

Lyndsay Dolansky

The trains were very interesting to walk through and get a glimpse to what they were like in their heyday. It would have been nice if the young staff tour guide knew and spoke of the historical facts to answer our questions and make it a little more immersive. Otherwise, it was well represented with the information plaques and displays. All in all, would go again!

Barbara Storey

Unfortunately it was closed when I was there, looked interesting from outside.

Ann

No more railroads since 1988. Interesting. Theatre group does murder mystery there.

Eric Garland

Nice stop along the ride to Gros Morne. Friendly staff along with a good exhibit

Alexandra Lachance

(Translated) Take a few minutes to stop and visit the locomotives and passenger cars of the last century. For $ 3 you will not be disappointed. (Original) Prenez quelques minutes pour y arrêter et visiter les locomotives et wagons de passagers du siècle dernier. Pour 3$ vous ne serez pas déçu.

Kim Bowles

Nice display of a piece of Newfoundland history.

Mike Davis

Cool trains

William Gene

Interesting and informative

Christian Lösch

(Translated) Not big, but absolutely worth seeing for railway fans, simply has charm (Original) Nicht groß, aber für Eisenbahn Fans absolut sehenswert, hat einfach Charme

Alison Chipman

It was a great place to visit! Shelby was an amazing tour guide who answered all of our questions knowledgeably! The kids really got a good sense of what a ride on the newfie bullet would have really been like! Highly recommend a stop here when in Corner Brook

Jay Dee

A must for railway enthusiasts.

Jessie Yakeley

Very interesting

Savannah Myers

Great place to visit to learn all about trains and the history. Wiith only a $3 entry fee I think it's a great stop while on vacation.

Mary Jane Vickers

Tour Guide Liam brought my children and I through the trains and mini museum. He was knowledgable, friendly, and considerate. It was a lovely afternoon and very reasonably priced. It was a shorter excursion than planned but my daughter loved it!

Louise Stockley

close to my old home and my dad was an engineer for CNR. alot of history in those trains.

Randy Jesso

Nice

Christopher Baker

Great place. Fun to see the historical aspects of the railway and trains in Newfoundland. Visitors are able to walk the entire interior length of the train and can freely enter rooms. Would recommend to a family or those interested in historical museums.

Sean Burton

Best display of Newfoundland Railway equipment on the island, including the only remaining mainline steam locomotive.
