Many people went to the Dauphin Rail Museum on Saturday for the 125th anniversary of the first train’s arrival through the city.
President of the Museum, Jason Gilmore says he was happy with the turnout.
“I think we planned it well enough that it’s not overwhelming truly, but it is to me, being slightly new at hosting events like this. I think it’s gone really well.”
Jason says we can anticipate a few more events from the Rail Museum in the near future.
“We’re going to have a couple of other events signifying when the rail first cross Main Street, so that was on November 7th, we’ll be doing something in regards to that. Then December 15th is the actual date of the first train arriving. The reason we held this event at this time is that you don’t know what the weather is going to be like, and we wanted to have something where people could be outside.”
There was live music at the event, and the street in front of the museum was lined with classic cars, some of which came from as far away as Brandon and Yorkton.
