Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum, Railway and forestry museum in Prince George, Canada.
The Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum houses over sixty rail and forestry vehicles and equipment spread across an eight-acre property with ten historical buildings. The collection documents the machinery and structures that powered the region's logging and rail operations.
The museum opened in 1986 to preserve the railway and forestry equipment that shaped British Columbia's development. The collection reflects how these industries drove the region's economic growth throughout the 20th century.
The museum sits on Lheidli T'enneh Nation territory at the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser Rivers. This location reflects how rail and logging shaped the region's development and identity.
The site is open Tuesday through Saturday, with shorter hours during winter and extended hours in other seasons. Wear comfortable walking shoes because the property is large and involves considerable walking.
The collection features a 1906 steam locomotive currently undergoing restoration and an electric GMD GF6C locomotive from different rail operations. These two machines represent different eras and technologies of railway transport in Central British Columbia.
