Train Days at Portage la Prairie has been caneclled
There will be no band playing at the CP Rail station at Portage La Prairie this year.
We regret to announce that Train Days at Portage la Prairie has been cancelled this year.
The Portage la Prairie Model Railroad Club has always put on a great show at the Canadian Pacific Railway Heritage Park and Interpretive Centre (Formerly the CP Rail station). The event was usually held during the last weekend of May. But complications during the station's extensive renovations has caused them to remove their layout and place it in temporary storage.
It is our sincere hope that Train Days will be able to be held next year. It's a great place to party, view a great looking model railroad, and do some rail fanning near the CP and CN mainlines!

More images from Train Days at Portage la Prairie
The model railroad season was supposed to be officially over after the WMRC's annual banquet, but with Train Days at Portage La Prairie and the showcase of the Winnipeg Railway Museum and the Gateway Western at Doors Open Winnipeg last weekend, there's still plenty of great model railroading action to be viewed in Manitoba. We still have a few more images to share from Train Days in Portage la Prairie. Enjoy!
Here's a nice view of two freight trains meeting on the Portage la Prairie Model Railroad Club's modular layout. it's almost like the real thing happening right outside of their door!
Our own Margaret Loewen crafted this beautiful winter scene for the club's modular layout.
The club also has a very nice Lionel layout on display! This nice lady slowed the train down just enough for the photographer to take this image.
Who let these guys in? That's what happens when you don't charge admission!
