Railway Days, The Winnipeg Railway Museum, Sept 17 2011

The Winnipeg Railway Museum

(and some old streetcar tracks from Winnipeg’s history)

In the VIA Rail Station (Union Station) at 123 Main street, Winnipeg

A collection of excellent old trains and railway stuff from long ago.

Winnipeg has a history of being a transportation and railway hub and it’s all collected here!

Construction at Broadway and Osborne has uncovered some streetcar tracks so I got some pics to record them.
