Historical Tidbit: The Camrose Canadian Northern Railway Station is a registered historic resource and was built in 1911. Shortly after, ten trains a day traveled through Camrose as there were three railway lines. The Canadian Northern, Grande Trunk and CPR. The railway lines opened up the country. We have the Archives and Library for the Canadian Northern Society in the Camrose Station. Enjoy the stories of the people who worked on the Midland Line. The Canadian Northern Society has restored Stations at Big Valley, Meeting Creek and Donalda.
