Railway History in Canada
Jul. 2021
Interesting museum on railway history in Canada. Self-guided tour through the museum. Nice train simulator. Good way to spend a few hours out of the heat. Wish the model train setup had been working.

Great museum
Jul. 2021
I came here in 1994 shortly after it opened, and then again in 2021. It is still great, so cool to look at all the old engines and rail cars, and good informational displays too. The train simulator is a bit hard to figure out, but the kids enjoyed it still.

Live Camera
Nov. 2020
Aside from the train inside the museum, the best is the Live camera set up on Youtube. You can see the weather, mountain and all the trains along the tracks.

A Must Do, when in British Columbia
Dec. 2019
I love trains and anything associated with them. The Revelstoke museum has lots of engines and rolling stock to see, together with great displays of related features. Well laid out with a steam engine and passenger car inside the building with a diesel engine and other cars outside. Plan on stopping for a acouple of hours.
