Cranberry Portage station is a former railway station in Cranberry Portage, Manitoba, Canada, whose building is now home to the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum.[1][2][3]

Located west of Grass River Provincial Park in north-central Manitoba, the building was constructed in 1929 as a two-storey, third-class station by the Canadian National Railway.[4] The station was later served by Via Rail's "The Pas-Pukatawagan" line for the Keewatin Railway.[5]

History

The Cranberry Portage station building was constructed in 1929 as a two-storey, third-class station by the Canadian National Railway (CNR). This section of the CNR track, known as the Hudson Bay Railway, proved to be essential to the development of northern Manitoba.[4]

The station would later go on to be served by Via Rail, on its "The Pas-Pukatawagan" line for the Keewatin Railway, twice per week in each direction.[5]Шаблон:Dead link

In 1992, the railway station was designated a historic site in 1992.[4][6]

The building was unused until 2012, when a local initiative restored the building and converted it into the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum, which opened officially on May 31, 2015.[2]
