There are several railway museums, but they are not all of the same size. Ours is the only one that is so large.
There are some museums with smaller collections. The Pembroke Museum, for example, specializes in Canadian Pacific's passenger transport. Often, the smaller collections focus on one specialized area.
The Canada Science and Technology Museum's collection is far smaller. Mr. Abbott made mention of an institution earlier. In a case like that one, our association lends artifacts from its collection. When it is important for a particular artifact to be in a given region, our association will lend it to a well organized museum interested in showcasing it. That is what we do for the Revelstoke Museum, for example. Other museums around Canada also own some of our artifacts. Generally, the loans take the form of 25-year leases.
