Trains in movies

Trains in movies

Passenger cars, streetcars, and steam locomotives provide a much sought-after backdrop for filmmakers. It’s possible to create the atmosphere of a streetcar running in Montreal or in Brooklyn, to simulate the departure of a train from Windsor Station as well as from a European station. You can also find yourself immersed in the atmosphere of the late 19th century as well as the mid-1950s.

During the months of April, visitors can learn more about trains in the movies. They will be able to visit, with a host, some of the vehicles in Exporail’s collection that were used as sets for filming.

For younger children, we’re offering a continuous screening of Thomas et ses amis (in French) from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (until 3 p.m. on Fridays).
