Lethbridge station (also known as Union Station) is a former railway station in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. It was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1905-1906 and expanded in 1908 and 1911.[1]
The station was in use until 1971, when the last service, a CP Rail Dayliner train to Calgary, was discontinued. In 1984, the railyards were relocated to nearby Kipp, and the station building was sold to Alberta Health Services and converted for use as a Community Health Unit.
CPR locomotive 3651 is on static display at the back of the station.
