Early Canadian Northern Railway plans indicate that this railway station was to be named "HEDA", however when it opened in 1914 it bore the name ENTRANCE, the last station prior to "entering" the Rockies on the transcontinental line. My grandfather, Roy Woodley arrived in Alberta working with the Canadian Northern Railway survey crew and settled at this location that he called Entrance in 1913. Roy built a general store and was awarded the contract for the Entrance Post Office. A small community grew at this location, near the station, post office, store and restaurant. This station building sat on the 99' wide railway right-of-way. Following recevership of both the Canadian Northern and Grand Truck Pacific railway companies and amalgamation into Canadian National Railways, this railway line was abandoned and the station building was sold in 1932. The station building was subsequently owned and used as a private dwelling by Alan Boomer, Harry Ennis, then Billy Magee. This historic railway station building has been restored close to its original site and is the main house for Old Entrance Bed 'n Breakfast Cabins operated by Mary Luger & Carol Wray.
