Learn about Manitoba train museums, model train clubs and train enthusiast societies. Learn where to ride trains, view trains or run model trains. Try running a model train.

The Winnipeg Railway Museum will be exhibiting some artifacts in the station lobby because the museum upstairs in the station is closed for renovations.

Service is provided once daily Friday through Monday overnight on both directions, with the first trip arriving in Winnipeg on the morning of May 8th and departing that evening. Prices are significantly lower than Rider Express, the only current operator on this route (also only offering twice-weekly service), so it's nice to see some competition.

The two stops in Winnipeg are 936 Sherbrook St and 35 Vermillion Rd (Southdale Mall), both established intercity bus stops serving Ontario Northland, Rider Express, Kasper, and more. Intermediate stops in Manitoba are Portage la Prairie and Brandon.
