Meanwhile, in the month of June the tourism centre saw 707 visitors whether it be people at the museum, asking for information, using the amenities or logging on to the wifi.

In June, four local students that were hired to man the railway station attended a workshop that included a tour of the Highway 60 corridor and other landmarks in the area.

The Railway Station is now open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm for visitors and residents alike to visit.
