I know there are a number of my 365 friends with an interest in railroads. So I thought it would be fun to share a little bit of Edmonton's railroad history.
The first railroad company in Edmonton was the C & E Railway.
The Calgary & Edmonton Railroad Company was incorporated in 1890 and in 1891 arrived in the south side of the river in what was then known as South Edmonton.
They built a station and across from it a hotel for guests to stay in.
The hotel still stands and is in operation today.
The station was torn down but this is a replica of it and today runs as a museum
