Revelstoke Heritage & Museums:
Railway Museum
Discover Canada's history and
railway heritage! Learn about
the building of the railway, the
workers involved, the final days
of construction and present day
operation. The Museum's unique
design complements the multitude
of beautiful artifacts and the
large photo collection
displayed.
The Museum houses the
beautifully restored CPR
locomotive #5468. Built in 1948
for the Revelstoke Division, the
Mikado P-2k 2-8-2 is an awesome
representation of the Big Steam
Era. This is one of the larger
steam engines ever used on CPR
lines.
Meet the men who lived and
worked on the rails. Responsible
for the restoration/maintenance
of 5468, Railway Engineers
volunteer time to talk about
their experiences.
