Then and Now Railroad to Parkland

Here is another Park that sits on the site of another railyard. This was once the site of the CN Railyard. Now it is a lovely green space in downtown Edmonton. They have some archive photos depicting the history of the railroad

Omw, what a difference, it must give the people so much more pleasure.

[Pat]

That looks a lovely park, so nice to see the history too.

[Mags]

Wonderful shots! Must be fascinating with its history.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice comparison collage.

[Cathy]

Love seeing repurposed land! Some of the un-used railways in our area are being converted to walking trails. Railroads mostly served the coal industry where I live and that is a dying industry.

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful capture and park

[Henk-Jan]

Great collage. I do like both sides

[haskar]

Great collage and comparison.

[Kathy]

Much prettier than in its former days. Glad the town chose to repurpose it.

[Diane]

Very interesting!

[Lou Ann]

How wonderful the railroad land is so beautiful now!

[John]

Great contrasts!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's great when the land can continue to be useful- moving from industry to green space is the best way!

Love all stories. most of the time they build and build. Nice to see they actually made it a green beautiful area/park.’
