The Nelson station (located in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada) and was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1900. The 2-story, wood-frame, railway station is located near the lakefront to serve as an important meeting point between rail and steamboat transportation. This station is no longer used as a passenger station and the building has been designated a national heritage railway station. It is now home to the Nelson Chamber of Commerce, a coffee shop on the East end of the building, with the remainder being the city's visitor centre. The station was also used by Great Northern Railway's Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway.
