CONGRATULATIONS to the Transcona Museum!
On Friday, July 14th, 2023, the City of Winnipeg and the Transcona Museum Board and staff are pleased to announce that CN will be the major sponsor for the CN 2747 Steam Locomotive protective enclosure with a contribution of $200,000 over four years.
The CN 2747 steam locomotive is an artifact of significant historical importance not only to the community of Transcona but to Canada. It was the first steam locomotive constructed by CN at the Transcona Shops and the first locomotive built in Western Canada in 1926. After 34 years of service, CN 2747 was retired and placed on permanent outdoor display in 1960. CN 2747 and the structure are located in Rotary Heritage Park at 735 Kildare Avenue West.
The Transcona Museum wishes to thank everyone who attended their announcement event yesterday. As well, they greatly appreciate all those who have supported the CN 2747 Protective Enclosure project - past, present, and future including Canadian National Railway Company, Russ Wyatt City of Winnipeg MP Daniel Blaikie Radisson MLA James Teitsma and Transcona MLA Nello Altomare.
