1912 Big Valley Railway Station Ink Pen Drawing By Aeris Osborne

2022 Alberta Artist-In-Residence Project- 1912 Big Valley Railway Station Ink Pen Sketch was my 3rd sketch of the series before painting on canvas.

Big Valley Railway Station Story:

Situated at the end of Main Street, the station is the centerpiece of the collection of historic buildings within the Village. It was built in 1912 by the Canadian Northern Railway and has served three railways: The Canadian Northern, Canadian National, and presently the Central Western Railway. The station garden is available as a rest area and is often used for picnics. There are several pieces of railway equipment in Big Valley, notably a wooden caboose and a CPR horse-express car dating from the 1930s. (Credit: Travel Alberta)

The historic 1912 Canadian Northern Railway standard second-class depot is a centerpiece attraction, located at the foot of Main Street, and houses local railway heritage displays. Big Valley’s beginning was a result of the arrival of the Canadian Northern Railway, which in 1912 designated the community as a terminal on its route between Vegreville and the Drumheller coal fields. Located in a picturesque wide-sweeping valley, the Village of Big Valley welcomes over 20,000 visitors annually. (Credit: Canadiannorthern.ca)
