From arts and craft shows, to theatrical and musical performances, to model railroad shows, to special exhibitions at the community's museums; Railway Days 2006 will be a memorable week of festivities.

The Museum houses the beautifully restored CPR locomotive #5468. Built in 1948 for the Revelstoke Division, the Mikado P-2k 2-8-2 is an awesome representation of the Big Steam Era. This is one of the larger steam engines ever used on CPR lines.
