The 1901 "Elko" Station
With the
success of Expo, plans blossomed as fast as the train's new
celebrity status. First, CPR donated its 1900-era Elko station. In a move financed by a number of local groups, the
station was trucked forty three miles and set up in a new floral
garden beside the train at the end of downtown's main street.
Looking regally CPR from the outside, this building gives the
Museum and Cranbrook a vintage down-by-the-depot setting in a
convincing context.
