The La Rivière station, built in the French Canadian style with a mansard roof is the only one of its kind 
still left in Manitoba and now a heritage site (#081) since 1994. La Rivière was founded 1886 by Metis Franco-
Manitobans but the area is now English speaking. La Rivière (translated to “The River”) refers to 
the nearby Pembina River. The name of the station was painted in large white letters on opposite sides 
of the long roof.

The station had full railway facilities on the lower floor and the stationmaster’s family inhabited the upper floor; accessed either through the station or by outside stairways. While everything else was destroyed, the
CPR station was moved in 1986, to the nearby Archibald Museum; to be part of their collection, encompassing other historic Manitoba buildings.

Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company  (LMRCC) Winnipegosis MB Station. Submitted by Arthur Grieve.

Winnipegosis is located about 200 miles north west of Winnipeg on the west shore of lake Winnipegosis.
The rail line was originally built by the Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company. In 1899 it was consolidated into a new federal charter, the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR).  The CNoR lasted until 1918. Due to financial difficulties, it was nationalized by government and became part of Canadian National Railways (CN). With the exception of the section running from the Dauphin to Winnipegosis, the remainder of the old LMRCC remains in CN’s hands and forms part of the railway’s main line. The station was built in 1897. This line is now abandoned.

Canadian Northern, Argyle Station. Submitted by Shayne Campbell, President & Executive Director Settlers, Rails & Trails – the Argyle museum experience! Argyle, Manitoba

The Argyle station is now a  museum. It is a unique railway station, using a boxcar from around the 1890s. It is a single sheathed boxcar, set on a railway siding in 1912 and made into a temporary station for a small settlement called Drake, later named Ekhart.

This is on the Inwood Subdivision, 5.5 miles north of Grosse Isle and 3 miles south of Argyle.

The station has a passenger room with two windows, a bench on outside wall, stove. The freight room has a large “x” style sliding door and the load limits from the box car are still painted around the inside of the freight room.

It is thought to be the only one of its kind in a museum in Canada. For more information on this museum please go to their web site at: www.settlersrailsandtrails.com
