Formed in 1995, the Wainwright Railway Preservation Society collects and preserves artifacts reflecting the history of Canadian National Railways and its predecessors in the Wainwright, Alberta area. The society intends to fully restore each piece in the collection and create an historically significant interpretive park that will be an asset to the Wainwright area.
Long term acquistion goals include a Super Continental passenger train and a CNR freight train typical of the 1950 era, an important period in Wainwright’s railway history. The interpretive centre will feature full size railway equipment and artifacts, dioramas and models.
Regular monthly meeetings are held at the Family and Community Services building (Boardroom), 902-5th Avenue, Wainwright at 7:30 PM the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
Annual membership is just $12.00 per year. Members have a say in park operation and planning. We are a completely volunteer-based museum, and as such WRPS, Wainwright Rail Park and www.railpark.org depend upon the input and participation of our members and sponsors. Please join us in our efforts to preserve and depict a part of Canadian history… become a member, today.
