Delburne Station - Delburne, AB - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

The Delburne Station was built in 1911 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP). It was built as a Type E station, a plan of the GTP. In the short span of three years, over 350 stations in the Class E category were built in Western Canada by the GTP as it quickly expanded throughout the prairies.

Originally built with wood shiplap siding (as were pretty much all railway stations of the era) this station was stuccoed in 1922. With the discontinuation of passenger service in the area in 1971, the station fell into disuse and stood vacant for several years. In 1978 the station was relocated a few blocks to the Anthony Henday Museum on the south side of 20th Street at 25th Avenue. The museum is well worth seeing, especially for train buffs, as it has this station, an old wooden water tower, a CNR caboose, a Fairmont Speeder and more...
