Mile Zero Signpost at the Railway Coastal Museum

The Railway Coastal Museum is a transportation museum located in St. John's, Newfoundland. It is located in the historic Newfoundland Railway Station on Water Street and contains exhibits detailing the history of the Newfoundland Railway and the history of coastal water transportation in the province.

The museum opened in 2003 on a grant from the Johnson Family Foundation. The museum is also noteworthy as "Mile Zero" of the Trans-Canada Trail.

The building has been designated as a municipal heritage building and is listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.

With the closure of the Newfoundland Railway, the station is no longer connected to any tracks, all torn up and reverted to other uses. The museum does not own or display any rolling stock as it is now surrounded by development.

The Museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.
