Historic Sites of Manitoba: Canadian National Railway Turntable and Engine House (The Pas)

Built by the Canadian National Railway in 1926, this five-bay railway engine house at The Pas is believed to be one of only four surviving in Manitoba, the others being at Reston, Dauphin, and Winnipeg. Sometime between 2014 and 2022, an engine turntable was removed.
