| - The New Brunswick Railway Museum, owned and operated by the Canadian Railroad Historical Association, New Brunswick Division, is a museum located in Hillsborough, New Brunswick consisting of the railway's line last remaining steam engine. It was formerly known as the Salem and Hillsborough Railroad (S&H) before the rails were superseded by Highway 114. The Salem and Hillsborough Railroad was formed in 1982 by a group of volunteer railroad enthusiasts and retired railroad employees. They took possession of a section of former Canadian National branch line trackage which ran from CN's Moncton-Saint John mainline at Salisbury east to just beyond the village of Hillsborough, approximately 20 miles (32 km) away. CN had operated this subdivision to service a gypsum quarry until the late 1970s when the quarry was closed, resulting in the company applying for abandonment. The first trial trains operated in 1983, and the line opened to the public in 1984. The S&H initially operated historic CN and Canadian Pacific steam locomotives 29 and 1009, which had been used in New Brunswick until the early 1960s when both railways completely dieselized. The S&H operated regular coach and dinner tourist trains between Hillsborough and a location halfway between Hillsborough and Salisbury, named , from 1984 until 2004. On 16 September 1994, a fire occurred which destroyed the yardhouse and several engines and carriages within, as well as offices and historical records. Since 2005 the site became a static museum as the New Brunswick Railway Museum, using the former excursion train as a centerpoint. (en)
- Le chemin de fer Salem & Hillsborough (Salem & Hillsborough Railroad, S&H) est à la fois un chemin de fer touristique et un musée situé à Hillsborough, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Son sigle de l'AAR est SHRR. Il a un écartement des rails de 1 435 mm (standard). Le chemin de fer fut créé en 1982 par un groupe de bénévoles et d'employés de chemins de fer à la retraite. Ils prirent possession d'une ancienne ligne du CN partant de la ligne principale Moncton-Saint-Jean à Salisbury, allant vers l'est jusqu'au village d'Hillsborough, soit une distance d'environ 33 kilomètres. Le CN opérait cette ligne pour desservir une carrière de gypse, jusque dans les années 1970. Le chemin de fer utilisait au départ des locomotives à vapeur du CN et du CP, qui furent utilisées dans la province jusqu'aux années 1960, quand les deux compagnies convertirent leur flotte au diésel. De 1982 à 2004, le chemin de fer offrit des excursions régulières ou des soupers entre Hillsborough et le hameau de Salem, situé dans les collines calédoniennes. En 1994, un incendie criminel endommagea le hangar ainsi que plusieurs locomotives et wagons. Les efforts de reconstruction prirent plusieurs années. À la suite des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, les assurances du S&R augmentèrent dramatiquement. De plus, des travaux de réparation sur deux ponts du ruisseau Weldon, un tributaire de la rivière Petitcodiac, devinrent beaucoup trop dispendieux pour un organisme à but non lucratif ne recevant aucune aide gouvernementale. Il n'y a plus d'excursion en train depuis 2005 et les responsables ne savent s'il pourra y en avoir de nouveau un jour, mais le musée situé dans la gare d'Hillsborough est toujours ouvert au public.
