Luca Matas, one of our newest and youngest members, is a very enthusiastic and skilled model railroader. He is also a very knowledgeable railroad historian. At our February meeting, he will give a presentation on the history of the
Pine Falls Subdivision, starting under Canadian Northern along with the operations of the line today.
Luca will also give a brief history of
CANDO Rail and the
Central Manitoba Railway. His presentation will include photos and videos he has taken of the line.
The fun starts at 7:00PM at the Charleswood legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard, on Friday, February 10. The canteen will be open and we’ll have our usual monthly model and photo displays. If you wish to attend this meeting via zoom, please email us at
