About the Society

The Bytown Railway Society is a volunteer, non-profit organization incorporated under federal government statute to promote an interest in railways and railway history. It was founded in 1969 and has a membership of approximately 1400. Among the Society's activities are its twice-monthly meetings, the publication of a magazine for members (Branchline) and the restoration and operation of a number of pieces of historic railway equipment located at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.

The Bytown Railway Society (BRS) has had a long history of active participation in the rail scene in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec from running excursions to providing the service crews for the National Museum of Science and Technology's operation of ex-CP steam locomotive 1201. The Society has produced over 30 publications and continues this activity with some recent highly praised publications plus its flagship book "Canadian Trackside Guide®".
