A Railroad to Dreams

From February 11 to September 6, 2021, visit the temporary exhibition presented by CP A Railroad to Dreams and discover the fascinating universe of the train.

From the 19th century steam locomotive to children’s toy trains, the train is just as synonymous with fun and travel, as it is with technological innovation. With models and a busy-sounding atmosphere reminiscent of a bustling station, this exhibition will please the whole family.

During your journey through the heart of the rail world, you will also see a perfect reproduction of the legendary DeLorean car seen (and seen again!) in the movie Back to the Future, as well as the magical Platform 9 ¾ seen in the Harry Potter movie series.

Can’t make it there? Take the tour virtually! A Virtual Guided Tour of the exhibition A Railroad to Dreams will be offered on February 13th and 28th. Visit the Pointe-à-Callière website for more information about this virtual guided tour.
