They have received word from VIA Rail that they must leave. Closing date is set for December 31, 2021. Hopefully they can find a new home. https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg-railway-museum-closing-at-end-of-december-1.5660148 |

That's too bad. Among other things they have Canadian Pacific #1 The Countess of Dufferin, an 1872 Baldwin 4-4-0 built for Northern Pacific and I believe the first steam locomotive on the Canadian prairies, used for the building of the CP transcontinental route. They also have a GMD-1 in original CN colors.

If you do not own your land, eventually this will be your fate. |

Furthermore, if you do not own the land, you should create an "Oh, $&it" account" and have an action plan in place. |

Wasn't Countess of Dufferin displayed at the CPR Station in Winnipeg back when each railway ran its own trains? Phil Mulligan |
