The Society's Equipment

From the founding of the Society, the goal of the organization has been to acquire pieces that represents equipment used on work trains and for related activities. Since 1967, the collection has grown so that there are now over 10 pieces from a 50 ton steam crane to several Fairmont Speeders used to carry work crews from place to place along the railway. Each piece is faithfully restored by members who volunteer and spend many a Saturday at the Canada Science and Technology Museum where the restoration work is done in their shops.

Beginning with the acquisition of a 1958 Pontiac Hy-rail stationwagon and the aforementioned steam crane, the Society has continued to expand the collection so it now has:

Central Vermont Railway 50 ton steam crane and auxiliary equipment
Thurso & Nation Valley Official's Car No. 27 "Bytown"
