TRANSCRIPT
Last year was a year of celebrations for the Canadian Railroad Historical Association.
On July 21, 2011, your Association celebrated the 175th anniversary of the opening of Canada’s first public railway, the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad, as well as the 50th anniversary of the start of Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum in Delson/St-Constant, Quebec, only a few miles from Canada’s first railway.
In March 2012, your Association celebrated 80 years since its founding in 1932 and 75 years since the publishing of the first issue of its magazine, now known as Canadian Rail. Your Association was and still is a “learned society”, as it conducts original research and publishes the results in magazines or books.
From its beginning, your Association has collected, preserved and conserved valuable pieces of Canada’s railway heritage. In 1961 this collection found a home at Exporail, the newly formed railway museum. Today, Exporail is Canada’s largest railway museum. It is considered by experts to be one of the best railway museums in the world. Indeed, last November, the website TripAdvisor rated Exporail as the number one attraction in Montreal. And since that time, this website has consistently rated Exporail among the top six of the city’s attractions.
You might say that the mission of your Association is to publish and preserve the rich railway heritage of Canada. On the publishing front, the Board of Directors authorized the printing of two new books: The Railways of St. Lambert, by Lorne Perry, and Montreal Streetcars, by Daniel Laurendeau and Tom Grumley. In addition to the six issues of Canadian Rail published by your Association, the Divisions have published significant research into Canada’s railways—in The Sandhouse, produced by the Pacific Coast Division; Kingston Rail, by the Kingston Division; The Turnout, by the Toronto & York Division; Bulletin Official, by the Charny Division; The Flagstop, by the Calgary and South Western Division; The Whistle Post, by the E&N Division; and The New Brunswick Update, produced by the New Brunswick Division. We are also selling over 200 copies of Canadian Rail each month,
through newsstand sales. All members can be very proud of our collective research and publishing efforts.
With regard to our preservation mission, your Association acquired three new pieces of rolling stock from the Agence métropolitaine de Transport. We restored Montreal Tramways Company’s Tram No. 3 to operating condition, and a major part of the restoration of Montreal Street Railway Company’s Tram No. 274 was completed. In an unexpected development, arrangements are underway to loan the A4 Pacific steam locomotive Dominion of

Canada for a period of two years to the National Railway Museum in York, England, as part of its celebration of the 75th anniversary of a world steam speed record set by the A4 Pacific locomotive Mallard, in 1938. It is proposed that the National Railway Museum will carry out a cosmetic restoration of Dominion of Canada, at its expense, as part of the agreement. Much work still remains to be done, however, to properly conserve, preserve and display our excellent collection of railway heritage rolling stock. This has been and must continue to be a priority.
In addition to your Association owning and operating Exporail, the Pacific Coast Division operates the Fraser Mill Station Museum in Coquitlam, B.C.; the Selkirk Division is involved with the Revelstoke Railway Museum; the Rideau Valley Division is involved with the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario; and the NB Division Corporation owns and operates the New Brunswick Railway Museum. A highlight of the year occurred on February 15, 2012, when the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, visited the Fraser Mills Station Museum.
Exporail was affected by the problems with the Mercier Bridge, however your Association finished the fiscal year with only a small deficit, thanks to good control of our revenues and expenses by our Executive Director and her team.
The library and archives continued to grow with the donation of many collections by members and friends. I again recommend to members that they take the time to organize their collections and leave written instructions on how these collections should be passed on.
The Canadian Railroad Historical Association Foundation had a very good year, thanks to the Golden Opportunity campaign, which brought in $325,000 for its endowment fund. Thank you for your generosity. I urge all members to consider making a donation or a bequest to the Foundation.
Our major challenge is and remains having proper, reliable funding for the operation of Exporail. We still have had no success in getting the Federal Government to act upon the resolution of Parliament of February 27, 2007 to make Exporail Canada’s national railway museum with appropriate
Executive Director’s Report
funding. However, on April 26, 2 0 1 2 , w e m a d e a n o t h e r submission to the Federal Government to carry out the resolu t ion as par t o f the celebrations, in 2017, of the 1 5 0 t h a n n i v e r s a r y o f Confederation.
Your Association mourned the sudden passing of Dr. David Johnson in March 2012. David was a past president, a director and a long-time member of your Association. From 1974, when he arrived with his family in Montreal, until his retirement six years ago to Revelstoke, B.C., he was very involved with the development o f Expora i l , particularly the design and construction of the new Angus Pavilion. In Revelstoke, he became p res iden t o f the Revelstoke Railway Museum and was the Western Canada representative on the Board of Directors of your Association. David had very good judgment and could bring people together to achieve great things. We will all miss David.
I would like to thank our members, staff and volunteers for the excellent work they do on behalf of your Association. I would also like to thank all of the individuals, companies, donors and governments who continue to support your Association each year.

President, Canadian Railroad Historical Association
An ambitious program for a year of festivities
Celebration was the theme of the 2011–2012 financial year. The 50th anniversary of Exporail’s founding and the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway were milestone events for our organization, and the popularity of the festivities was one of the reasons behind an increase in attendance at Exporail.
Exporail welcomed 69,090 guests during the year, including 47,326 visitors and 21,764 users of the multipurpose rooms. This represents an 8% increase in attendance over the previous year. Road work and a temporary closing of the Mercier Bridge discouraged larger outings, but we nonetheless received visits by 116 groups of young people and 47 adult parties.
Inauguration of a new permanent exhibition
To mark the 50th anniversary of its founding, Exporail inaugurated a permanent exhibition, in the completely renovated Hays Station, entitled From Everywhere to You! This exhibition journeys into the mysterious world of switching yards and railway traffic control centres, through 151 archive documents and 34 artefacts from the collection. It also includes material from the first modern interlocking signal box, which was designed in Canada and installed at CN’s Wellington Tower in Montréal. The building was renovated for the exhibition, and a panoramic window overlooking the switching yard was added.

The opening ceremony, held on June 9, 2011, was attended by the Director of the regional office of the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, as well as three generations of the family of Charles Melville Hays, President of the Grand Trunk Railway, in whose honour the station is named.
Other work for this project included paving the footpath, designing and installing three theme islands about railway trades and their benefits to the community, improving the open storage area in Building No. 5, restoring some of the collection’s rolling stock, and landscaping the station gardens with the assistance of the Centre de formation professionnelle des Moissons.
These investments, valued at more than $1.1 million, were made possible by the generous financial support of donors and partners, especially the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine du Québec, the North American Railway Foundation, the Estate of Frederick Forbes Angus, the Centre local de développement (CLD) de Roussillon, and the Conférence régionale des élus (CRÉ) Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent.
A unique commemorative event: the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway
A major travelling exhibition was assembled to mark the occasion. Railway Witnesses: Memory of a Nation highlights the important role of railway companies in Canadian history over the last 175 years. The first railways introduced the possibility of year-round travel. Driven by a
powerful vision, the railway companies went on to unleash a chain of events that would help build a nation. Their wide-ranging achievements not only made a tremendous difference in people’s lives; they also transformed the country’s political and economic landscape. For this exhibition, rarely seen documents (135) and objects (47) from the collection were on display in the CN Exhibit Room from June 18, 2011, until the end of April of the following year, before travelling to the Revelstoke Railway Museum for the 2012 tourist season.
A pedagogical Internet tool, whose content meets the requirements of Canadian provincial education programs, was also developed for teachers. This version of the exhibition is available online at histoiredurailhistory.ca or from a link on our website. The main themes explored are immigration, travelling schools, Confederation, bridges and tunnels, important historical figures, and major railway companies in Canadian history.
During the festivities held from July 21 to 24, more than 4,000 people gathered to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway, which coincided with the official date of the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Canadian Railway Museum.
A variety of activities were organized to highlight the important heritage

of Canada’s railways, as well as their continuing contribution to Canadian life. The public had a unique opportunity to board operational cars and locomotives on loan from the fleets of Canadian Pacific and VIA Rail Canada. We also held an official ceremony attended by a number of dignitaries, exhibited the work of 19 visual artists from the region, offered theatrical presentations, train excursions, a talk by the Exporail curator, and guided tours of our exhibits, and even cut an anniversary cake. Organizing the celebrations mobilized the efforts of 87 volunteers and 36 Exporail employees.
The event would not have been possible without the support of our partners and sponsors. We wish to express our appreciation to the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Agence métropolitaine de transport, the Railway Association of Canada, CN, Canadian Pacific, the MRC de Roussillon, VIA Rail Canada, and the City of Saint-Constant, the City of Delson, the City of La Prairie, and the City of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Fifty years of passion
A photographic fresco was designed and installed in the entrance hall of the Angus Pavilion in honour of the Museum’s 50th anniversary. The theme for the anniversary celebrations was 50 years of passion for the restoration and presentation of Canada’s railway heritage! Among the events marking the occasion, a reunion supper held on September 17, 2011, provided an opportunity for members, volunteers, and current and former employees to share memories of their involvement over the last 50 years.
Special activities
Exporail organized 11 special theme days in 2012, the most popular of which were Royal Visit, Museums Day, A Great Passion for Model Trains, From Horsecar to Métro, The Public’s Favourites, and Railway Christmas.
In response to the growing number of families who visit Exporail, we have added several family activities to our programming. One of these is Special Delivery, which offers participants an opportunity to prepare and send a postcard from Exporail. During the Royal Visit theme day, children were encouraged to construct a royal crown or medal, which they could wear proudly during their visit. During the 175th anniversary festivities, children had fun playing with small wooden trains provided by Pierre Belvédère. At the fall event From Horsecar to Métro, children made caps similar to those worn by engineers, coloured pictures of tramways from
the Exporail collection, and listened to a story called “Montréal’s Little Cars”. Finally, children who attended the popular Railway Christmas were delighted to see Santa Claus arrive in a specially decorated railcar, enjoyed a brand new story entitled “Peter the Railwayman”, and eagerly watched a miniature train circle the giant Christmas tree.
Exporail’s regular activities designed for visitors to experience and observe trains were all held as planned. All train excursions and demonstrations of telegraphy and the locomotive John Molson took place normally, while 94% of scheduled trips on the tramway and miniature railway were operational.
Efforts were made to enrich the experience of our school clientele by better adapting programs to that age group. Three new volunteer activity leaders were trained to support the regular team in making presentations to visitors. A team of employees and volunteers was trained to present the new exhibition From Everywhere to You! in the Hays Building. We also developed a new product to encourage hall rentals by corporate users. These team-building activities are intended to bring work groups together through original interactive activities featuring pieces in Exporail’s exhibitions. By facing a series of challenges, team members are encouraged to improve interpersonal communication, cooperation and sometimes even leadership skills. We are hoping to market this program from November to April, which is when most corporate training occurs and also happens to coincide with Exporail’s off-season for tourists.

Displaying and sharing the Collection and the archives: The heart of our mission
In the interests of ensuring that the Association’s collection of national interest continues to reflect our developing society, we have acquired three important pieces of rolling stock: the locomotive GR-418 AMT-1311, the passenger car exGO AMT-1101 and the electric-powered rail car AMT-603. Donated by the Agence métropolitaine de transport, these
pieces have heritage value in Canadian railway history.
Several other donations of archives and artefacts have also been accepted, including about thirty fare boxes from the Société de transport de Montréal, the Order of the Rising Sun medal awarded to Charles Melville Hays by Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu of Japan, the test model for Bombardier’s locomotive Acela, two models of Montréal tramways from Robert Nantel, a station clock from Stan Smaill, a collection of Van Horne passes from Ron Ritchie, and an assortment of railway tickets from Gilberte Ayotte.
We also need to mention a major offer we received from a railway company last year, to donate 2,000 boxes of archives and artefacts. These are now in the process of being assessed by private evaluators.
Elsewhere, a report researching and evaluating freight cars is being prepared by a subcommittee under the supervision of the Chair of the Collections Committee. Their work will be invaluable in helping the Committee identify relevant pieces to acquire in the interests of improving the collection.
A grant from Canadian Heritage under the Museums Assistance Program enabled us to purchase KE EMu, a collection management software platform that will allow us to manage, preserve and display our collection better. This upgrade was needed so we could update data, function in a network environment and share the collection over the Internet. Once the transfer to the new system has been completed, we will again be able to transfer information to CHIN—Artefacts Canada’s national database—as well as to Québec’s Info-Muse system.
Our accredited private Archives Centre received 170 visitors, who consulted the library and visited an exhibition that took place at the Centre in July and August. In addition, 16 researchers worked on site over the course of the year, 102 research requests were processed and 70 hours were dedicated to answering internal requests. Finally, 1,817 Internet users consulted the archives and another 129 viewed the list of titles available from the bookstore.
Given the increasing use of our collections, we have digitized and made available 9,300 photographs from 13 archival groups. We also loaned out documents and 55 artefacts for exhibitions at four different sites: the Dorval Museum of Local History and Heritage, the Galerie d’art de Blainville, Les amis de la montagne, and Pointe-à-Callière Museum.
The curator conducted research into our collection of Alice Macredie watercolours, as well as into the engineering achievements of Robert Macredie, in preparation for the upcoming temporary exhibition entitled Macredie—Works of Art.
Recognition and visibility
Exporail’s contribution ha been recognized by three distinguished awards: the 2011 Grand Prix de l’entrepreneuriat de Roussillon in the Tourism and Culture category (CLD de Roussillon), the 2011 Desjardins Prix d’excellence touristique de la Montérégie (special mention from the jury presented by Tourisme Montérégie), and the 2010 Special Achievement Award from the Canadian Railway Hall of Fame.
We were able to conduct an extensive communication campaign thanks to an increase in promotional budget made possible by the sponsorship of four railway partners (CN, Canadian Pacific, Agence métropolitaine de transport and VIA Rail Canada), as well as an amount allotted to promote Component B of the permanent exhibition. Our annual communications campaign comprised:
• More than 15 press releases sent to regional and national media;
• Media placements, banners and Pattison billboards in metro stations and cars and on CIT Roussillon buses;
• A dance performance in the Montréal metro system to promote special events and the permanent exhibition by distributing flyers and temporary tattoos to passersby;
• Advertising in tourist campaigns (Balades.ca, CAA Québec, Tourisme Montérégie, Passeport POM), newspapers and magazines;
• Wide publicity on partner websites and in municipal newsletters, promotional draws, and other venues.
For several years now, we have been collecting information through an in-house survey to determine the profile of our client base and evaluate our communications strategy. The data we gather is used in setting development objectives.
The strength of our volunteer program
Volunteers donated a total of 16,450 hours of their time during the last financial year. The value of their contribution is estimated at between $300,000 and $500,000. As in past years, volunteers have been

involved in operating trains, making presentat ions, maintaining rai lway infrastructure, performing mechanical maintenance, and restoring and providing support for the archives.
Of the many hours volunteered, 3,152 were spent on Component B of the permanent exhibition project and 1,440 on organizing commemorative festivities marking the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway.
We would also like to mention the work of several volunteers in reorganizing the space reserved for our collection of CN drawings and technical manuals.
Effective partnerships
Nine projects were produced by Exporail in partnership with 12 organizations, and these projects drew a total of 7,400 visitors. The partnerships were in a variety of areas, including:
• Joint programming with the Association des auteurs de la Montérégie (for Bienvenue à bord de l’imaginaire), with the Agence métropolitaine de transport (for the Museum Express train excursion), and with Canadian Pacific, CN, VIA Rail Canada, the Agence métropolitaine de transport and the Railway Association of Canada (for the commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway);
• Community involvement with the Historical Train of Ukrainian Pioneers (an event at the Ukrainian Embassy to Canada) and Héma-Québec (annual Exporail blood drive);
• Broadcast programming with CBC Television (an episode of The Canadian Story about C.M. Hays, a passenger on the Titanic), and Canadian Geographic and the Railway Association of Canada (The Canadian Atlas Online);
• Extramural presentations with CN (CN Family Day) and the Association of Railway Museums (2012 convention).
In addition, management, employees and volunteers were actively involved as directors or supporters of eight regional tourist and cultural organizations.
Sustained funding efforts
Despite efforts to significantly increase self-generated revenues from activities, these have remained stable. However, our efforts

to solicit donations for the CRHA Foundation have yielded results.
Two fundraising activities were held: a draw for a train trip from Montréal to Vancouver, generously supported by VIA Rail Canada; and screenings of the IMAX film The Rocky Mountain Express, with the collaboration of the Stephen Low Company.
The fundraising campaign of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association Foundation brought in $162,001 from contributors, and this amount was matched by Placements Culture. The money was used to create a $324,000 endowment fund in the name of the Museum at the Foundation of Greater Montreal. To date, 186 donations have been received, including three major ones from Canadian Pacific, the Molson Foundation and Caisse Desjardins des Berges de Roussillon.
Exporail also received financial assistance from several other sources:
• Significant funding from the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine;
• Operating assistance from Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec;
• Grants from Emploi-Québec Montérégie, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the City of Saint-Constant, the City of Delson and MRC de Roussillon.
We also received financial assistance from Canadian Heritage for the celebrations held on July 21 to 24, 2011, in commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway, and a grant for the recent implementation of a new collections management system.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the Board of Directors had to deal with a $65,000 reduction in the operating assistance that has been provided by the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine since the Angus Pavilion opened. Over the last five years, many efforts have been made to reduce expenses, increase self-generated revenues and seek out private funding.
Acknowledgments
Our organization is able to carry out all these projects and activities through the commitment of its management, employees and volunteers, and with the support of its members, donors and partners. Their dedication and efforts help ensure the high quality and reputation of Exporail as a museum.
We especially wish to acknowledge our primary operating partner, the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine. We also extend appreciation to Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Emploi-Québec Montérégie, the Department of Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the City of Saint-Constant, the City of Delson, CLD de Roussillon, CRÉ Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent, MRC de Roussillon, the Estate of Frederick Forbes Angus, the North American Railway Foundation, the Molson Foundation, CN, Canadian Pacific, Bombardier, VIA Rail Canada, Agence métropolitaine de transport, Caisse Desjardins des Berges de Roussillon, Conseil intermunicipal de transport de Roussillon, and Société de transport de Montréal.
