History The Alberta Railway Museum began by a group of volunteers in 1968; they later relocated in 1975 to their current location, on the former Canadian Northern Railway Coronado Subdivision.

The museum opens from 10 am to 5 pm during the seasons of Victoria Day weekend in May and through Labour Day weekend in September. The museum also offers speeder cars run a during the summer season and also run passenger trains with their locomotives during select weekends, from May, July, August through September. The museum also serves guided and self-guided tours of the property, which lasts approximately 90 minutes. Through the year, volunteers keep the museum operating, with the exception of summer staff. Funding comes from memberships, museum admissions, grants and casinos.

In 2018, the museum celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2020, the museum was closed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, but later reopened.
