Canadian Railroads > CPR Station Location in Bow Island, AB

I am a member of the Railroad Station Historical Society and am working on a project to update the western Canadian (and American) listings on their website to give more precise and accurate locations. http://www.rrshs.org/Struct.index/strucindex.htm.  British Columbia is complete.

Bow Island is located southwest west of Medicine Hat.  The existing listing notes that it is a CPR wooden station built in 1911 which was relocated to Highway 3 at the west edge of town.  It may or may not be a museum.  Looking at Google Maps, I have not found anything and doing several Internet searches, the only applicable result has the following text " Key Attractions in Bow Island 1. The Historic Bow Island Railway Station. One of the town's most notable landmarks is the historic railway station, which dates back to the early 1900s.", however, when I click on the link, the page does not exist.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Elizabeth Guenzler

I'm a long way from Southern Alberta, but I managed to find this online.

Hope this helps...

1. The station in situ in about 1920.

2. From a 2022 real estate listing (711 8th  Ave E, Bow Island AB) MLS® # A1225229
    -- seems to be located at a plant nursery in the extreme south east corner of town.
    -- apparently still for sale.

Thank you, John.  That does indeed fit the the description I have and I'll add the address, as well as make a notation.
