More Information
The Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railway (NPMR) Repair Shop is the oldest building at the Forks, and the oldest surviving railway repair facility in Manitoba. The T-shaped structure now houses the Manitoba Children’s Museum. The utilitarian brick shop is a typical example of a late nineteenth century industrial building. It was used for car and engine repair until 1909, then accommodated various other functions for the NPMR’s successors, the Canadian Northern and Canadian National Railways.
