Revelstoke Railway Museum
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Revelstoke Railway Museum; they come here with a purpose, drawn by the thunderous echo of history that still seems to cling to the tracks outside. Inside, it's a cathedral to Canadian grit, where the sheer scale of a restored 1929 CP steam locomotive stops you in your tracks. You can climb into cabooses and rummage through a treasure trove of antique timetables and brass lanterns that feel plucked from another era. It’s less a quiet gallery and more an immersive, hands-on story about the iron will it took to unite a nation.
Collection Highlights
The star is undoubtedly the massive CPR 5468, a fully restored steam locomotive from 1929 that you can walk right up to. Other gems include vintage passenger cars you can board, an impressive collection of railway lanterns, and the intricate model railway that brings the entire operation to life.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right downtown at 719 Track Street West—you can't miss the old railcars parked outside. It's the perfect rainy-day activity or a fascinating pit stop for anyone driving through the mountains.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a practical, no-fuss building that echoes a traditional railway roundhouse, its unpretentious design puts the focus squarely on the magnificent machines inside and on the surrounding tracks.
