What we do
The Midwestern Rail Association Inc. was founded in 1975 to celebrate the contributions made by railways. Their mandate is to procure, preserve, and promote rail heritage in Canada. The association operates as a registered non-profit organization in Manitoba and is recognized as a charity with Revenue Canada. Through their work, they aim to keep Canadian railway history alive for future generations.
The association's geographic focus is primarily Winnipeg and Manitoba. They established the Winnipeg Railway Museum in 1992 to showcase local rail heritage. Winnipeg is described as "truly a railway city" served by five different carriers. These include two Canadian transcontinentals, the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National railways. The museum's location in Winnipeg's Union Station emphasizes their local focus.
Program highlights include operating the Winnipeg Railway Museum, which houses significant artifacts like the Countess of Dufferin. This was the first locomotive on the Canadian prairies. They restore vintage railcars and cabooses for display. The museum also features technical displays and a model railroad run by the Winnipeg Model Railroad Club. Recently, they have been working on upgrades to reopen the museum in November 2025. They develop educational tours tailored to provincial school programs and work to acquire new artifacts.
