Worth stopping for
Railway Station Museum
On the way to…
Carbonear's station was built in 1917-18 by the Reid Newfoundland Company, replacing an earlier station destroyed by fire, and stayed the northern terminus of the Brigus Junction to Carbonear branch line until passenger trains ceased in 1984. It was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1988 as a representative example of stations on the Newfoundland Railway System, and the federal directory records its plaque name as the Railway Station Museum — the name it goes by today. It stands at the foot of Water Street West, in the town's main business district.
