Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, Railway museum in Cranbrook, Canada

The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel houses 28 railway cars, including the 1929 Trans-Canada Limited and 1907 Soo-Spokane Train collections on Highway 3/95.

Founded in 1977, the institution started when a group discovered a dining car from the Trans-Canada Limited rail line while searching for space to create an art gallery.

The Royal Alexandra Hall, transferred from Winnipeg and reconstructed in 2004, serves as a venue for community events with a capacity of 200 guests.

The museum maintains seasonal operating schedules and provides guided tours through restored passenger coaches, freight cars, and railway memorabilia from different periods.

The facility holds the largest collection of Canadian-origin rail travel cars from the early 1900s in North America, featuring 13 accessible railway vehicles.
