Railway Coastal Museum är ett kanadensiskt transportmuseum i St. John's i Newfoundland. Det berättar om den nedlagda smalspåriga Newfoundland Railway som var i drift mellan 1898 och 1988 och om provinsens kusttrafik.
Museet öppnade 2003 i den k-märkta tidigare järnvägsstation i St. John's[1] och var en gåva till staden St. John's. När museet 2021 var nedläggningshotat, köptes det av Genesis Coworking Centre, som är anknutet till Memorial University of Newfoundland.

They were built specifically for the 3 ft. 6 in. gauge railroad on Newfoundland. Roger Puta photographed one in 1968. Most of them were exported to Nicaragua and Chile. They look like a GP7 with no short hood or a SW1200 with a high hood.

Taken in a light rain, here is another perspective of the NF 110 class diesel locomotive # 906 of the erstwhile Newfoundland Railway. This engine hauled freight and passenger trains on the Nfl. Railway beween 1953 and 1988. After the railway closed in 1988, # 906 was one of the nine engines preserved on the island. The rest were either scrapped, or sold to railways in Chile,Nicaragua, Nigeria etc. (St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, June 2015)
