Rails across the West

Wainwright Railway Park

Step aboard antique railcars of the Canadian National Railway and its predecessor, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and see for yourself how the settlers traveled. Discover the origins of Wainwright and countless other prairie towns made possible by the railway which arrived in 1908. Go back in time as you smell the old paint and examine the extensive collection of authentic rail artifacts in the passenger car. Hear stories from the conductor of the adventures of bringing buffalo to the area from Montana, as you climb in the cattle car. And don’t forget to explore the uniquely Canadian collection of railcars including two snowplows, a cab-less locomotive and a Road Switcher.
