The Elgin County Railway Museum is a rail transport museum in St. Thomas, Ontario. The museum and most of the collections are housed in the former Michigan Central Railroad locomotive shops. Built in 1913, the shops were part of more extensive servicing facilities on the Canada Southern Railway. The museum acquired the facility in 1988 when the last owners, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway, left the area. The museum finally occupied the building in 1988. In 2009 15 acres of railway lands were acquired.The museum uses trackage from the museum that runs west and then south of the Museum. The line is used for the annual Day Out with Thomas ride. The nearby BX Tower was preserved and occupied by the museum but owned by the City of St. Thomas.
