Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway is a 102-mile long industrial railway from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Shoal Lake near Manitoba's eastern boundary. The railway was built to assist in the construction and maintenance of an aqueduct supplying fresh water to Winnipeg. It is owned by Winnipeg's municipal government.
The GWWD Winnipeg terminal and facilities are located on Plinquet Street in St. Boniface. The railway's offices are housed in a former passenger depot, although the GWWD no longer operates passenger trains.
