The Toronto Railway Historical Association (TRHA) was established in 2001. It is incorporated and is a Federally registered charity. Its primary purpose is to promote the development of the Toronto Railway Heritage Centre, which will:
- Communicate the history of railways in Toronto.
- Identify, celebrate and facilitate the study of the creative, technological, social and industrial achievements of Torontonians who have contributed to the development of railways in Canada.
- Assemble, conserve and preserve artifacts and objects relating to the development of the railway industry.
- Undertake research to construct and maintain a comprehensive record of Toronto’s railway history.
- Make that record available to Canada and the world via internet technology.
