Railroad Museum of New England, Inc.

$90,089 raised by 149 donors

The RMNE, located at the landmark Thomaston Train Station, is a not-for-profit educational and historical organization that dates back to January 1968. Our mission is to tell the story of the region’s rich railroad heritage through our educational exhibits and operation of the Naugatuck Railroad. The museum concept is also a story of the region and the development of society around the railroad. 

The museum's area of focus for 2026 is the rehabilitation and return to service of our original excursion locomotive #529. New Haven Locomotive #529 is an RS-3 built by the American Locomotive Company in August of 1950. We are going to feature this locomotive in our Celebrate 30 Event in September!
