Come one, come all to the Portage Model Railway Club’s December open house

The Portage Model Railway Club holds only two open houses per year, and the next one is coming up on Saturday, December 16! It’s definitely worth the trip to see all of their layouts and displays in the renovated CP Rail station. If you haven’t been there lately, you’re going to be surprised and delighted at what they’ve done.

The hours of the open house are from 10AM to 3PM. Admission is five dollars. Kids under 12 are admitted for free! The station is located at 251 3rd. street NE in Portage La Prairie.

Portage is a great place for rail fanning, and its been listed as one of the top rail fanning sites by Trains magazine. The CN and CPKC mainlines run closer to each other than almost anywhere in the country, so bring your camera! Please remember that crossing tracks other than at designated road crossings is illegal and dangerous.
