| Opened | 1913 |
The Salmo railway station (located in Salmo, British Columbia, Canada) was built by the Great Northern Railway (U.S.) that later become the Burlington Northern Railroad along a branch line extending north into Canada. The 1-story, wood-frame, railway station was completed in 1913 and consists of a waiting room, ticket office and the freight and baggage room. The station was built as part of a move by the Northern Railway to gain customers from the dominant railway in the region, the Canadian Pacific Railway. [1]
The building was designated a historic railway station in 1992.[2]
