Upcoming Events
Railway Days, Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Sept. 19 - 20, 2026
The Heritage Park Morse Telegraph Club and members of the Calgary and Edmonton Chapters of the MTC are participating in the 2026 version of Railway Days at Calgary’s Heritage Park. This year's two-day event runs on Saturday, Sept. 19 and Sunday, Sept. 20 from 10 AM to 5 PM MT. Railway Days celebrates Western Canada’s rich railway heritage and this year marks the 40th anniversary of this popular event. Guests will enjoy seeing the park's extensive collection of rolling stock in action and will be able to send telegrams between the park's three active train stations. Telegraphers will also be handling train orders and hooping them up to passing trains as regularly done long ago. The park's telegraph network is also connected to the wider Alberta MTC Line Project network, hosted by the Calgary Chapter, which now includes 18 stations stretching from British Columbia to Ontario. For a fascinating trip down memory lane, and to see lightning slinging in person, visit Heritage Park.
