The museum has a Canadian Pacific S-3 locomotive originally built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1957 to a design originally developed by the American Locomotive Company. Between 2001 and 2006 the S-3 was restored and painted in original period colours and is now on display.[2]
The museum has a smaller General Electric 23-short-ton (21-long-ton; 21 t) diesel electric locomotive built in 1941. This unit was originally used by the US Army and US Air Force before being purchased by SaskPower for use on the Saskatoon coal-fired A. L. Cole power plant before the site was decommissioned. This is augmented with a Canadian Pacific trackmobile built by crane manufacturer Whiting Corporation in 1957.
Street cars
The Saskatoon Municipal Railway operated street cars (also known as trams) from New Year's Day 1913 until 1951. They had a cumulative total of 56 streetcars; three of which are now owned by the museum. Car 40, built by the Preston Car Company in 1911, was originally used in Calgary before being obtained by Saskatoon in 1919. It was one of seven units obtained from a trade with Calgary for six larger units that were too heavy to cross the Traffic Bridge. Car 51 was built by the National Steel Car company in 1927, and operated in Saskatoon until the end of street car service. Both of these cars have been restored to original colours.
Car 203 was built by the Cincinnati Car Company in 1918. It was in service in Cleveland, Ohio and the city of London, Ontario before being purchased by Saskatoon. Restoration on this car has not started.

Passenger and freight service cars
The Canadian Pacific kirkella is on display. It was built by the Pullman Company in 1913 as a first class sleeping car; it was in regular service until 1956 when it was converted for use on a work train as a carman's sleeper. The car was used when filming Summer of the Monkeys.
The museum has two snow ploughs on display. The Canadian Pacific plow was manufactured in 1913, while the Canadian National plow was manufactured in 1927.
