It?s been a busy few weeks at the Niagara Railway Museum. 2 displays in Fort Erie on the Canada Day weekend, one being our open house, the other was the Friendship Festival. Restoration continues around the shop, with new work being performed on the Plymouth MDT 40t diesel, and HEPC steam locomotive #46. Work sessions are held at various times during the week, and members are usually out there every Saturday.NRM?s ex-C&O Fairmont M14 ?Dale?, was finally moved to the shop this weekend.

The NRM would like to congratulate the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre in Capreol for their successful acquisition of ex Temiskaming & Northern Ontario. 4-6-0 #219 from Ontario Northland. They are now working on moving it to their site. For more information visit www.normhc.ca
