Salmo Train Station mural shows the Burlington Northern Railway Station. It is one of the best surviving examples of a standard GNR depot in Canada, and an unusually good example of the standard railway station architecture used on western Canadian branch lines and was built in 1913.
This station is a small, nondescript station on Railway Ave, you can visit both as it is across the street from this fine example of Salmo's rich history.
Parks Canada officially designated the Burlington Northern Railway Station a historic site in April 1992.
