It was formerly named "Union Station" because the Canadian Pacific Railway shared the building with the 
now defunct Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company
and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.

The plaque mentions that "Since 1987, the building has 
been occupied by the Lethbridge Health Centre and 
CPR Consolidation 2-8-0 is positioned near the NW 
corner of the building and a refurbished caboose near 
the SE corner"

The locomotive and caboose are covered in other pages 
on this site.

Park Lane Mall behind the station is now occupying a
great portion of where the yard used to be. A 1977
study recommended that the yard be relocated to
Kipp, some 5 miles northwest and the tracks be moved
about a block north of the station. They are still in use, 
daily for freight shipment to and from the US.

To the extreme left, the stone monument bearing
plaques set in front of Consolidation 3651, covered in 
my CPR locomotive page,  http://yourrailwaypictures.com/CPRsteamengines/

After being refurbished inside, the building became designated as a provincial historical site. While it is
open to the public, there are no railway artifacts inside 
but a CPR Consolidation sits behind the former station 
at the west end on static display and a 1943 wooden
caboose flanks the east end.

Notice the iconic octagonal tower, and the row or 
dormers familiar in prairie stations, such as Edmonton, 
Red Deer and Saskatoon. In 1987 the building became
the Lethbridge Health Unit after being vacant for
some time, when CP moved its yard to Kipp, about
5 miles northwest and relocated the mainline about 
a block north.

Notice Consolidation locomotive CPR 3651 to the 
extreme left. It was moved to the site in 1987, after
having been displayed in Galt Gardens across the street since 1964. Wooden caboose 437083 (built in 1943) was added at the other end of the building in 1988, to 
complete the setting.

The door into the new portion leads into the health
centre and the other side gives into the parking lot 
and the rear of Consolidation locomotive CPR 3651.

Notice the way that the cars are parked in front of the
station, a hold-over in the three Western provinces, 
of when horses were tied to hitching posts in front of buildings.

CPR wooden caboose 437083 built in 1943, was added 
to the right side on its own bit of track in 1988 . 
See my caboose page.

Built in 1905-1906, the CPR station closed in 1983,
when a study recommended relocation of CPR yard operations to Kipp, some 15 miles west. Following
renovation and now having been designated as a
historic site, the building became occupied by the 
Lethbridge Community Health Centre.

The bridge to the far right is Stafford Drive North, 
which spanned the yard but is now a wider concrete 
structure with a couple of tracks running under,
which see occasional traffic.

In 1980, an agency was established to relocate the
yard to Kipp, a few miles west of Lethbridge City 
Centre.  The tracks were moved further north and
the area redeveloped into a shopping mall and 
residential complex.

After  the was station was preserved, CPR locomotive 
3651 (MLW 2-8-0) was relocated from Galt Park 
across the street, to a position where the boxcar now 
sits on the extreme left of this picture, to enhance the Lethbridge railway heritage.

Passenger service was abandoned in 1971 and freight 
operations relocated to Kipp, some distance west of
downtown in the 1980s. http://www.lethbridge.ca/Doing-Business/Planning-
Development/Documents/Railway%20

The large building in front of the locomotive is the
Chapters store and Michaels is in the background,
both within the Park Place Mall, which replaced the 
CPR yard, when it was moved to Kipp. The
locomotive is prominently featured on my CPR 
steam locomotive page http://yourrailwaypictures.com
/CPRsteamengines/

Passenger service between the two cities was 
abandoned in 1971, although occasional freight 
service still exists.

As with the Calgary-Lethbridge elsewhere on the 
page, this CPR timetable is their listing dated 
30 Apr 1967 to 28 October, 1967.

.
The Stirling station is along the old Lethbridge Great Falls subdivision at Stirling. The CPR built a new station beside the new Railway town of Maybutt, Alberta when the old
Galt Railway station site was to small for CPR when the 
took over the Alberta Irrigation Railway and Coal Co.
The Station although located in Maybutt, Alberta 
remained under the name Stirling as Stirling was located 
1km south of the new town of Maybutt.

We could date the photo to about 1910. The passenger
station is in the middle and CPR freight sheds on
either side. The building was demolished to make way
for the Husky Tower (now Calgary Tower), which
opened in 1967 as a centennial project.

The CPR station was then located in the basement of
the tower and subsequently used by VIA until January
1990 and then briefly by Rocky Mountaineer train.

To the right of the station is what is now the Fairmount Palliser Hotel (ex-CPR), which will celebrate its 
centennial in 2014.

During the real estate boom 1911, the building was sold 
to the Canadian Northern Railway for $60,000 for use
as an office,since they had decided to relocate to Calgary,
in competitionwith the Canadian Pacific Railway 
(CPR) in the downtown core
(at 9 Ave x Centre St) and the Grand Trunk Pacific,
where Fort Calgary is now located
(very roughly 9 Ave x 8 St SE). 
 
 
 

In addition to the building, the Canadian Northern 
Railway purchased the Lindsay property to the south 
across the Elbow River and set up the McKee 
yard (freight) yard, which 
had 10 tracks and facilities, on what is today the 
City of Calgary Lindsay Park, across the road from
the present Calgary Stampede Grounds. 
 
 
 

A separate building had been planned as a station but 
WW1 looming, ended the expansion plans. By 1913, 
Canadian Northern decided by to use the building as
a railway station. It built a steel bridge across the
Elbow River in 1914 to link the station on the
north side, to their McKee Yard, on the south side 
constructed the year before and now finished. 

See my bridge page: http://yourrailwaypictures.com/TrainBridges/index
Central.html
 
 
 
 

The bottom pictures show the CNoR station with 
CNoR 2141 
at the platform

The first passenger train arrived sometime in the
fall of 1915. By 1916,
it had become the Calgary terminus for runs from 
Edmonton 
through Drumheller  (The Goose Lake Line
http://forgottenalberta.com/2010/01/15/goose-lake-line
is-on-the-chopping-block/) and Edmonton via Three Hills
and 
Mirror in North Central Alberta. See map at
http://www.forthjunction.com/passenger-rail.htm. 
By June 1919, Canadian National Railways (CN) 
assumed ownership when they incorporated the Canadian 
Northern. The station closed July 5, 1971, with the
departure of the last Railiner (RDC car)
for Edmonton.
The building sat vacant until 1979, when it was purchased 
by the
City of Calgary. In 1981, it was named a Provincial Historic
Resource of Alberta. 

Around 1984, Calgary City Ballet (now Alberta Ballet) 
leased the facility. Fire ravaged the building in  August 1985. 
Living nearby  at the time, Massey recorded the incident 
shown here. 
The building sat as a burned out hulk until renovated in 1987 
with funding from the Nat Christie Foundation and, since 1991,
the Nat Christie Centre has been home to the Alberta Ballet. 

In 1911, the building was purchased by the Canadian 
Northern Railway for $60,000. By June 1919, Canadian
National Railways assumed ownership of the station and 
rail lines, when the company absorbed Canadian Northern.
The last train departed for Edmonton on July 5, 1971, 
after which the station closed. 

The City of Calgary then acquired the building in 1978 but
fire gutted the structure in August 1985 during renovations
and it stood vacant behind a heavy wooden fence until 1987,
when major renovation were completed; including two large 
dance studios, with funding from the Nat Christie Foundation.
No detail was spared to ensure an accurate historical 
restoration of the building. Here, we see what can be done 
to an old building, using modern materials. 

The 1916 brick portion in the back now houses the wardrobe
department, in a building that is now "The Nat Christie Centre"
and  home to the Alberta Ballet. The view looks north from 
the edge of the downtown core, in an area formerly called 
"Rouleauville, the former "French Quarter" of Calgary.

The train, which came into the station facing northbound, was
uncoupled from its locomotive, brought into the yard and thn 
backed into the station for the next trip.
The loco meanwhile was serviced, wyed and recoupled, now
facing southbound for the next trip outbound, over the bridge.

The bridge (covered later into the "Bridge page") is now part
of Calgary's Lindsay Park used by pedestrians and cyclists.
Lindsay Park (on the other side of the road from the Calgary
Stampede grounds) was formed when the old yards were 
reclaimed and features an aquatic centre and footpaths. 

Note the proximity to the Calgary Tower and Calgary's
famous bird: the construction crane.
The dark brown building in the background is the former 
Petro Canada HQ building.

The building was declared a Provincial Historic Site
in 1981 and the Calgary City Ballet leased the facility 
in 1984 but during renovation in 1985, it accidentally 
caught fire late one night and was totally gutted.
Photos in this series show the damage and 
subsequent reconstruction.

The building was constructed in 1913 on the Canadian 
Northern Railway (CnoR) Goose Lake Line from Saskatoon 
to Calgary. Eventually acquired by CN, Hanna became a 
divisional point until 1900, second only to Edmonton.

Hanna is located in East-Central Alberta approximately 2 hours
north-east of Calgary.

It was constructed in 1910-11 from half of the former
Calgary station (shown on this page) by dismantling the 
1893 station 
stone and by stone and using half to build a station at 
Claresholm and the other half to build a station in High River
which is now the Museum of the Highwood (also shown here). 
The Claresholm station opened in 1912 and operated as a
train station until it closed in 1965.

The City of Claresholm leased, then purchased the building 
and several uses were proposed, including a library. In 1969 
it was decided to convert it to a museum and community 
centre, a use which continues to this day. The small building
on the right of the photo is Claresholm's first school (1903).

Although the CPR abandoned passenger service in 1965,
the railway continued to serve Claresholm until about 1971. 
About late 1990, freight service did not warrant keeping
that portion of the Macleod Sub open and it ceased to exist.

Rowley station is now,  believed to be virtually abandoned.. 
When Rail America bought the Central Western Railway, on 
which both of the stations were, things changed drastically 
for both the Central Western Railway (CWRL) and
Alberta Prairie (APXX)

The building was constructed in 1911 to serve the
Grand Trunk Pacific (eventually CN) and was at one time
a divisional point between Edmonton and Calgary. 

Stucco cement was applied to the outside of the station in 
1944. The building was destroyed by fire in 1975 and not
replaced.

This photo is undated but most probably taken in the
mid-1960s when there was a lot of activity on the CN 
Three Hills Sub, as evidenced by the tracks.
The Three Hills Sub is still in use for transporting freight 
on the CN between Calgary and Edmonton. It's alternate
for freight on the CP, is the Red Deer Sub.

This station is no longer in use as such, after VIA withdrew 
service between Calgary and Edmonton. CP now used
a brand new yard, 
just out of town. The station may be of further use though, as 
there is a "bullet train" service planned for the busy Calgary-Edmonton corridor but the financing and final route
remain to be determined.

This is a perfect example of a portable station just dropped trackside by the CPR, with a bit of additional construction afterwards.

This view looks east from the "High Line", a slight grade 
used by westbound trains, while the track shown here by the 
station is used by eastbound consists, CPR heavy haul trains continue to use the

Still in use today, the former station is now converted to an
upscale lineside restaurant http://www.lakelouisestation.com/ , When Massey last visited the area, there was a passenger car
(CP Delamere),  parked on static display to the right, for 
special functions.

The station was the second building erected on the site, the
first one (Laggan Station) is now  in service in original 
condition at Heritage Park in Calgary (view my page). 
This second building was used by CPR for a number of 
years on the Montreal-Vancouver mainline, then by VIA
Rail and is now The Lake Louise Railway Station & 
Restaurant, an upscale facility.

Since 1998, the building has been home to the I
ron Horse Night Club, one of Edmonton's largest and oldestnightclubs, with two levels, eights bars, four rooms, a dance floor, and a stage; it hosts over one thousand people on an average nightDescription from http://en.wikipedia.org

This is a rare event, as the RDC had a problem and an FP unit
from Calgary was used instead, on the Calgary-Edmonton run
for a week or so.

The building (now a museum) at 10447-86 Ave, is a replica of the original station which served Edmonton from 1891-1907 and
features numerous railway and station artifacts as well as an extensive historic photograph collection. The building is open
to the public and there is a small admission fee.

Behind the building by the crossbucks is the the old CPR line to 
Old Strathcona, over the High Level Bridge (see my Bridge page). 
The CPR stopped running trains over the upper deck in 1989 
from a yard of what is now Grant McEwan Community College, 
to the Old Strathcona (South Edmonton) CPR station (
see my Station page) .

Currently, the Edmonton Railway Society (ERRS) runs one of
their restored tramways on the line, first over the
High Level Bridge, then through a short tunnel under a housing project, to their shops 
behind Old Strathcona Market, about 2.5 Km.
The service started in 1997 from Grandin (near theAlberta Legislature Building ) and was extended to Jasper Avenue in
2005.
The downtown terminus for the tramway is located between 
109 St & 110 St at 100 Ave, just a few streets beyond some
major downtown hotels, near Corona LRT station 

Operations take place  from the May Long wekend to (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend (May-October). 
Running on the hour and the half hour, the round trip adult fare is currently about $4.00, purchased from the conductor and 
allowing stopovers. 
There are also family and group fares.

Close to 50,000 passengers are carried in an average year
The Edmonton Radial Railway Society, composed entirely of volunteers also operates the streetcars at Fort Edmonton.

The building was retired in 1977 and donated to the town in
1991, turned 180 degrees around and restored. Now a
provincial historic site at 1811 � 20 St in Didsbury, it serves 
a community hall. The car which is angle-parked in front of
the building is a leftover from the days when cowboys tied
their horses to a hitching post.

A good side view of the main building is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didsbury,_Alberta#mediaviewer
/File:Alberta_mainstreet_Didsbury_RR_station_016.jpg

The Red Deer Sub between Calgary and Edmonton runs 
near the building but CPR trains do not stop there anymore 
as the structure has become a community hall housing the 
Chamber of Commerce, as well as Scouts and Guides and
other organizations.

The museum is located east of Red Deer AB on off 
Highway 21; coordinates N 52° 11.836 W 113° 14.345. 
It is only opened July and August but other times by 
appointment. Not all artifacts are railway-related but 
there's a caboose and a Fairmount speeder on the grounds. Admission is by donation. http://www.unlockthepast.ca/places/Anthony-

This station islocated in central Alberta. The Village of 
Big Valley is located south of Stettler. This photo shows
the refurbished station. It is still a destination for the
Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions. 

The proper name should have been "Eladesor", which is 
Rosedale spelled backwards.
(I took a long magnified look to make sure there was no error 
on the signpost) A five kilometer drive east from the Drumheller 
town center, Rosedale lies at the convergence of the Rosebud 
and Red Deer Rivers and Eladesor is nearby..

The railway served the Atlas Coal Mine, a wooden tipple,
now fully restored and a Historic Site open to visits. 
The photo was taken circa 1984 before everything became restored.
You can look up the history of this interesting area at 
http://www.atlascoalmine.ab.ca/history.html

The whole area and attractions are described at:

CPR trans-continental mainline from Calgary to Vancouver 
is in the foreground. 

"The Great Hall", a 152m wing (just short of 500 ft), where 
the Royal Canadian Pacific is stored, when in Calgary. 
This photo was taken on November 5th, 2011.

The area can accomodate up to 80 people for seated dining 
and about 200 people for weddings etc.
Catering is provided by the adjacent multi-star Palliser Hotel. 
View their interesting website.
Trips on the Royal Canadian Pacific are in the upper
four-figure range, with onboard stateroom and
showers. Accomodation  is limited to 32 guests, 
each receiving
VIP treatment throughout the consistof 10 fully
restored (1916-1931) Canadian Pacific
business cars . 
http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com/
http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com

The Royal Canadian Pacific is a luxury train accommodating
a very limited amount of passengers (around 30), all over 18. 
The trip is in the very high 4-figures and VIP treatment is the absolute norm. Read about the VIP accommodation at http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com/accommodations.html

Entering the station door and turning right  leads into the 
Great Hall, featured on this page and on the Old Diesel page. 
Turning left leads into  "The Rotunda", linking the Great Hall 
to the Fairmount Palliser a multi-star hotel, where guests
stay overnight,  before departure the next morning. 

Trips are always carried in daylight, with overnight stops at 
selected high-end lodging (such as ranches) depending upon the
trip chosen and  suitable VIP meals throughout the trip .
Side trips are included for golfing, fishing or visit to notable sites. 
One is the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel in Cranbrook BC http://www.trainsdeluxe.com/
The train then proceeds to Lethbridge and the High Level 
Bridge featured on the bridge page. On a couple of plans,
the last night is spent inside the train on a rail siding near 
Calgary and it enters the city about 10 am.

The Royal Canadian Pacific train features  restored FP9 
diesels and Tuscan red heavyweight "heritage cars", 
all of them rebuilt to modern standards and former opulence,
all of them used by CPR top executives at one time. 
The tail end car features the old style observation gallery, 
opened to the outside, allowing gusts to enjoy the mountain 
air, as in the old days. Some of the rolling stock and motive
power is covered in my pages.

Next to the Royal Canadian Pacific luxury trip, the Rocky Mountaineer is the best choice, from Calgary to Vancouver
or the other way around, called "First Passage to the West". 
The trip features 3 classes of travel, depending on the fare. 
Gold Leaf passengers ride in a full upper dome, which
features a dining room at the lower level with meals served 
at the table. The class also has other amenities. 
The  "First Passage to the West" is "all-daylight" trip, with
an overnight stop at Kamloops BC overnight, where guests are accommodated in local hotels, again comfort depending
on the travel class, with  all hotels and gratuities included in 
the fare.  http://www.rockymountaineer.com/en_CA_AB/

While stored in Calgary, trains normally head straight to 
Banff during the season April-October, except Wednesdays, 
when they stop at this station to pick up passengers.
After a short stay in the waiting room, guests pass through a 
door around the far side of the counter and  directly to the track. Departure from Calgary is around 6:30 am, in order to reach
Banff by 8:00 am and board the rest of the guests, most
of whom are tour groups. Travel is then non-stop to Kamloops.

Constructed to replace a wooden station in 1911, the station 
(minus the original roof from one half of the 3rd CPR 
station in Calgary ), was transported to High River stone 
by stone by the CPR as a way to save money and it served
the town as the railway station from 1912 to 1965.

As a result of freight operation having moved to Lethbridge, 
the station then became redundant to the CPR, although the Dayliner continued to serve High River until 1971 
(see timetable 23 on this page). Located  elsewhere in 
High River, the Museum of the Highwood then leased 
the building from the CPR in 1972 and the Town of High 
River purchased it outright in 1977.

The Museum of the Highwood (housing mostly early 
ranching artifacts) was severely damaged by a fire in the 
roof on July 28, 2010.  It again suffered extensive damage 
to the basement during the June 2013 flood in Southern 
Alberta but a fair amount was saved. 
Admission is by donation.

The building was constructed in 1913 on the Canadian 
Northern Railway (CnoR) Goose Lake Line from 
Saskatoon to Calgary. Eventually acquired by CN, 
Hanna became a divisional point until 1900, second only 
to Edmonton.

Hanna is located in East-Central Alberta approximately
2 hours north-east of Calgary.

The station is a Canadian Pacific Standard #2 Station,
built in the same style as the Didsbury station shown on 
this page and greatly expanded over the years, before 
being closed in 1990, when VIA no longer served 
Southern Alberta. View a period picture of the front at http://www.canada-rail.com/alberta/

Following the termination of VIA service into southern 
Manitoba,
Alberta and BC in January 1990 (see the notice 
somewhere else on this page), the building sat empty for about 10 years and was about to be demolished. With a financial grant and
great fanfare, it was moved to Beiseker, Alberta 
for use as a railway museum on the west side of the 
village and some distance away from the Beiseker station. http://www.okthepk.ca/dataCprSiding/articles/201205/

It was about two weeks ago that I learned of it's existence while I was visiting the local town hall. I was also told that their was not a hope in hell that I could get on the property to photograph it. 
All the antique fixtures have been removed from the building by night time shoppers, the owners have had cattle, farm equipment stolen over the past few years. So I could understand why they would not want strangers on their property. So I drove out to the farm, and asked if I could enter the property and take pictures. 
The wife said no, but her husband came to the door and said ok, The site has cameras on it The gate at the entrance to the station location was chained & locked. So there I was,73 years old with 
bad knees. I got down on my stomach and crawled under the gate. Not a pretty sight!!
The farmer requested that I not give the exact location, so you
will not see it on the photographs. Could the station be restored!! Yes,but only if one had really deep pockets. I believe that a few years ago I sent you a CP set of plans for this type of station!"

The station now located south of Calgary, 3 km north of 
Asldersyde on Highway 2, between the Okottoks turnoff and Alderside. , 19km south of Highway 22X. 
The site is not open to the public but serious visitors
may ask permission to enter.
 

The Village of Champion is located between Lethbridge 
and Calgary. Population 384 (2007 census)
The CPR opened the station in 1910 and it was named it 
after H.T. Champion, a prominent Winnipeg banker.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champion,_Alberta 

To see what Champion Park is all about you might want to
look at this Video. Champion Park is private railway that
exists as a family tribute by Gerald Knowlton, his wife
and family to his father, 

The foundation was laid first

The move was done by York Shaw Building Movers and 

Chris
was part of the crew.

The station was hauled into place

The RDC served  St.Paul,  Grand Centre and
RCAF/CFB Cold Lake, on the Alberta-Saskatchewan
border, until the VIA took over and terminated
passenger service.

During its operation, passengers left North Edmonton
on the Vegreville Sub, reaching the Coronado Sub 3.5
miles later. At Abilene Jct, the train veered northeast 
into the Bonnyville Sub, reaching Grand Centre at 
Mileage 61.1 . There have been several changes since 
this timetable was published, including different
ownership and/or abandonment of portions of the track.

Fort Kent is approximately 32 km (20 miles) southwest
of Cold Lake and has a population of about 200.
The photo is dated April 1965.

Built in 1966,the CN Tower was vacated by CN in May 2008 http://www.cawcouncil4000.com
and all western  operations consolidated within a new
building in Walker Yard, further north.

This view, taken in October 2011 shows that the CN logo 
still remains on the building, despite new owners, 
as it has become an Edmonton landmark.

It was opened  in 1998 following the closure of the downtown 
Via Rail station which was located in the lower level of 
Edmonton's CN Tower, front and back of it shown on this page.

This photo taken in about 1910 of the international border, includes the employees of the Coutts Sweetgrass International Customs Depot, Train Station. 
Building built in 1890 by Alberta Railway and Coal Co. designated Port of Entry, owned by Sir Alexander Galt, founder of Lethbridge and a Father of Confederation. 

Bill found the following information on this station.
"We did find out from the Government of Alberta, that
this building is the only remaining example of three that existed when the west was open for settlement. 
One was in Manitoba, the other in British Columbia.
To my knowledge it is  the only one every owned
by a Father of Canada's
Confederation 1867, also the only privately owned international narrow gage rail line owned by Galt's 
company running from Lethbridge to Great Falls
Montana. CPR were not impressed but he had
friends in high places."
