Vintage locomotives retain their pull for volunteers - Edmonton Prime Times

there is a vintage locomotive Museum that cost $5 to get in and $5 to go on a steam locomotive. You can also walk around the area and see vintage water tanks, a vintage train station and a bunch of vintage history from the tail end of the Canadian steam engine history. Steam locomotive stopped working between 1959 and 1960. They all went to diesel. They have a functioning 1913 locomotive and they are working on another one. Although the Henry Ford museum has some of his coach Cars, one of them reside up here in Northern Edmonton . His personal car was a Canadian mail car. The museum is run by volunteers. If you happen to come up to Edmonton in the spring and summer of 2019, come check it out! The museum is closed until next year. It closes after Labor Day each year. I've been living in Canada since 2006 and so much of Canadian history is parallel to American history. Since both countries have the same gauge, you will see Canadian Railway cars in the United States and vice versa.
