This is one of a dozen signs that make up Edmonton's Neon Sign Museum on 104 Street NW. Each sign has a unique place in the city's history. There is room for up to 30 signs so the display will continue to grow.
The display was lit up in February, 2014.
The signs that were chosen are iconic signs and representative of the commercial signage that was so prevalent in Edmonton’s history.
The Canadian National Railways sign was placed on CNR buildings in various cities to signify the Freight and Telegraph services that the CNR provided. The one we have was not on a building in Edmonton, but was salvaged from a site in Calgary. It is certainly typical of the railway signage used in larger cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. This sign was donated by the Alberta Railway Museum.
