Alberta Railway Museum

The Alberta Railway Museum is a railway museum in Edmonton with a collection of locomotives, coaches, and station buildings from Canadian railway companies. The site displays vehicles, workshop equipment, and structures that document how trains operated and served the region over many decades.

The museum was founded in 1976 on a former railway line and opened to visitors in 1977. The collection preserves vehicles and equipment that represent several generations of railway operations in Alberta.

The museum displays historical passenger trains and locomotives that visitors can see today, showing how people once traveled by rail. The vehicles come from different Canadian railway companies and tell the story of how trains shaped transportation in the region.

The museum is best visited on weekends during warmer months when it is fully open and most vehicles are accessible. It helps to wear comfortable shoes, as the site covers outdoor areas and involves walking between different parts of the collection.

The museum still operates a functioning steam locomotive that visitors can see in action under certain conditions. This working engine is uncommon, making the site special for anyone interested in how trains once worked.
