      • The Alberta Railway Museum (ARM) is a railway museum located in the north end of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It houses a collection of railway equipment and buildings and has locomotives from both the Canadian National Railways (CNR) and Northern Alberta Railways (NAR).


      History


      The Alberta Railway Museum opened in 1976 in a historic spot, on the former Canadian Northern Railway Coronado Subdivision. With the exception of summer staff, volunteers keep the museum operating. Funding comes from memberships, museum admissions, grants and casinos.
