Baildon Railway Station

bigger picture

The station was originally built for Canadian National Railways at Baildon, Saskatchewan in 1911. The station features fully furnished living quarters on both the main and second floors that are true to the era. The Station Master's area of the ticket office and freight shed and the passenger waiting room are original. Within the Station are the original schedule books, tickets, train log books, locomotive repair books, lanterns and travel posters. Note the 1886 original wooden train step. The small cart on the tracks is called a 'jigger' or 'speeder.' It was used by railway workers to travel along the tracks for maintenance checks. It was donated to the museum in 1965, and installed on the track in the 1970's.
