Street Car - Car 356:
In 1980, Heritage Winnipeg acquired Winnipeg Street Car 356 and accepted both ownership and responsibility for its continuing preservation. Following negotiations an agreement was drawn up between Midwestern Rail Association and Heritage Winnipeg, for the street car to be moved into Winnipeg Railway Museum, within the train shed of the Via Rail Canada Union Station, Main Street at Broadway Avenue for restoration. In order for Car 356 to be restored, it is necessary to raise sufficient funds for materials, etc. A five year plan for the completion of the project by the Street car Committee of Heritage Winnipeg, has been developed for which donations are sought. Recently, Tec Voc High School helped restore the Windows of the Car.
