The Gateway Western and the Winnipeg Railway Museum are still closed

Midwestern Railway Association has signed a 25 year lease with VIA which will allow the Winnipeg Railway Museum to stay in its current location. Now that the lease has been secured the museum will be looking at getting grants to upgrade the building to meet code requirements for an occupancy permit. This may involve some structural changes to the Gateway to meet code. Presently, there are no details on what needs to be done. The museum is still under renovations so there is no access to the Gateway at this time.
