One hundred year Red Deer milestones

the time to start
is now . . .

 
a bold vision
for dual visitor attractions in the Red Deer area
proposed by the Forth Junction Heritage Society
2 unique-in-Canada venues
 

 
Riverlands Downtown Red Deer Transpo Gathering Centre
Proposal for Canada's only Trail-Train-Transit Family Entertainment-Heritage-Retail Centre
tentatively called 'The Crossing'
and
Railway Station and Transit Heritage Resort & Nature Park
Proposal for Canada's only Heritage Railway Multi-Station Accommodation Village
tentatively called 'The Junction'
 

 
with 2 additional unique features . . .
 
          The Alberta Central Historical Model Rail Museum
            that will become Canada's largest interactive multi-scale, multi-era historical model exhibit
and
          Replicated F2a Jubilee 4-4-4 3001 'The Chinook' steam locomotive
            one of only 5 high-speed semi-streamlined CPR passenger steam engines of its class built, none survived
 

from 1911 to 1962, Forth Junction was the interchange between
the Red Deer-originated Alberta Central Railway and the Calgary and Edmonton Railway, both operated by Canadian Pacific,
representing the north-south, east-west flow of settlement, commerce, industry, agriculture, transportation and entrepreneurship
