St. James, Manitoba

This single-storey structure was built in 1910 by the Canadian Northern Railway at the west end of Winnipeg and was part of the line’s Oak Point Subdivision. The structure is a CNo 4th-class single-storey rural station.

In 1974 the Winnipeg’s Vintage Locomotive Society acquired the historic building to use as their boarding point for the popular Prairie Dog Central Railway steam and diesel excursions. With the abandonment of the subdivision by the CN in 1996, the society moved the station to a more rural location on Inkster Boulevard, where it continues to play out its important heritage role. Designated as a federally protected station, its ticket office, two waiting rooms, and freight rooms have been restored to reflect its historic train operations. The Prairie Dog Central Railway steam locomotive can often be seen puffing impatiently in front.
