Fort Saskatchewan station

Fort Saskatchewan station is a former railroad station in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. It is designated as a heritage site. It was built by the Canadian Northern Railway along the east-west Canadian Northern Railway line. The ​1 1⁄2-storey, wood-frame building is of a modified third class station design (100-19 plan) employed at some of the major stops along the line; it is longer than that of most third class designs. This included a vestibule, kitchen, living room, large general waiting room, separate ladies' waiting room, office and a small freight shed and was augmented with an expansion in 1911, In 1986 an agreement was reached by Canadian National and the town to remove the tracks into town and by 1988 the last train passed by the station. The station building has been restored and is rented out to community groups. The Canadian Northern Railway reached Fort Saskatchewan in 1905, placing the town on a transcontinental rail line. The first bridge across the river was also built at this time, with the rail company paying for it in exchange for free land for its station in Fort Saskatchewan. Prior to the bridge, the only method to cross the river at Fort Saskatchewan was via ferry.

Where is this?

GuRoute likes to place attractions inside other attractions. So, maybe it's in a city, or maybe it's inside a particular park in that city. Maybe your attraction is a huge park that spans half the county, or multiple counties.

Determining where this attraction is gives it context - if it's in a park, you'll be able to see it alongside all the other attractions in that park. And that helps define the park.

GuRoute will automatically calculate a parent region for this attraction. You can change it if there is something more appropriate.
