Winnipeg Railway Museum, Railway museum in Union Station, Winnipeg, Canada.
The Winnipeg Railway Museum occupies tracks 1 and 2 within Union Station and displays locomotives, railcars, and technical equipment spanning different railway eras. The space shows the evolution of rail technology across more than a century.
The museum was founded in 1994 by the Midwestern Rail Association and houses the Countess of Dufferin, the first locomotive to operate on the Canadian prairies. This engine marks the start of the railway age in the region.
The collection shows how railways shaped Manitoba's growth and connected communities across Canada. Visitors see documents and objects that make this role visible today.
The museum is located within the historic Union Station right in the downtown core and is easy to reach. It is currently closed for renovations until November 2025, so visitors should check its status before visiting.
A notable piece is a Jordan spreader from 1911, which shows how workers maintained the tracks. The museum also holds information about building the Hudson Bay Railway to Churchill, one of Canada's most remote rail projects.
