In the 1960s, a steam engine was placed at Zwick’s Island Park to commemorate the city’s connections with the railroad. Despite maintenance, the steam engine slowly rusted and it was eventually removed and relocated to Memory Junction in Brighton Ontario. In 2018 that steam locomotive was sold to an unknown person in Uxbridge Ontario and has since been removed from Brighton. The CN Train Monument Committee – consisting of CN employees, CN pensioners and local businessmen – was established by the city in the mid 1990s with the aim of developing a permanent railroad monument site. The first train monument was dedicated in 1997, which was followed by the installation of a flag pole and Memory Lane complete with pavers, trail lighting, benches, trees, the two arches, cement arches and the floating turtle platform in the turtle pond. In 2015, the committee built the gazebo.
The memorial is dedicated to all the railroaders who have worked on the various railroads in and around Belleville over the years. It features an etched-stone double-sided black granite marker, with various locomotives on one side and varied railroad scenes on the other.
The main marker features the simple text: "...Past, Present and Future" underneath the various railroad scenes.
There are also information plaques and stones in the small park, as well as a granite steam train whistle.
