Bermuda Railway Museum
⚠️ The museum is now permanently closed. The owner of Railway Museum and shop Ms. Rosa Hollis passed away in July 2011. The museum closed down before her death. Information below is for reference.
Located in Hamilton parish, Bermuda Railway Museum and Curiosity Shop holds a nostalgic memory of the days when railways were in operation in the island. Between 1931 to 1948, Bermuda government operated the railways along the coast line. Maintenance of the tracks was becoming very expensive.
Several parts of the 22 miles long railway tracks were on wooden or metal bridges that crossed various parts of the ocean, and were difficult to maintain. Rot and corrosion was another major problem. The railway operations eventually ceased. Most part of the railway route was subsequently converted into a
walking and cycling trail.
What used to be once the Railway Station room for the Bermuda Aquarium stop, became the Bermuda Railway Museum. It is owned privately by Rosa Hollis. The museum room is very small like the size of a garage. It now holds memorabilia from the old Bermuda trains.
