Meeting Creek Station Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The Meeting Creek railway station was built by
the Canadian Northern Railway in 1913. Today, it represents
one of the few remaining examples of this design, and is
unique in Canada, the station being preserved on its original
site with both a portion of the original railway together
with a classic prairie grain elevator.
The station has been wonderfully preserved and houses photographs
and artifacts pertaining to life in the prairie railway depot. The
grain elevator is also one of the best examples of an early
elevator, complete with an original hydraulic engine.
With the abandonment of the railway branch line serving Meeting
Creek in 1997, Central Western Railway, the line’s owner, kindly
donated a portion of the original main line and elevator track to
the Canadian Northern Society. The station grounds and right of way
now form the basis for a local park. Picnic tables and washroom
facilities are available for use by the visiting public.
The Meeting Creek station and grain elevator are open during the
summer months to the public through the support and generosity of
the Community Hall Café.
