History exhibits with railroader stories, memories & photos shared by family members offer a good read; Walk in the engine bays where steam locomotives & machinists/ welders/mechanics/maintenance workers created unique “relationships” between man & machine. Sit in an authentic 1930 railroad section man’s speeder once used for track inspection & service work; Walk across the 90′, 1920 locomotive turntable seen in the rock band, Nickleback’s hit video “Photograph” (original band members grew up in the Town of Hanna.) Schools and private groups are also welcome for tours.
