We are very proud to announce the acquisition of the ex-Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) steam locomotive #1238!
This achievement will make WCR home to the second largest operating steam locomotive in all of Canada and will allow us to offer even more unparalleled experiences for you to enjoy!
Thanks to you and our tremendous community, we were able to successfully raise $150,000 by the December 29 deadline!
However, our journey is not over; this historic locomotive is in great condition, but additional donations are crucial to complete the work required to bring it back into operation.
Your continued support will help us steam ahead to complete restoration! We look forward to providing exciting experiences with steam locomotive #1238 for all to enjoy!
