Dugald, Manitoba

Dugald is a community in Manitoba, Canada, located 10 kilometres east of Winnipeg at the junction of PTH 15 and Provincial Road 206 in the Rural Municipality of Springfield.

In the Dugald train disaster of September 1947, a Canadian National Railway passenger train consisting of older wooden-bodied passenger cars collided with a transcontinental passenger train made up of newer steel cars, resulting in severe damage and fatalities on the older train.

This accident led to the retirement of the less crashworthy wooden cars.

The museum relocated to downtown Winnipeg in 2006.

[5][6] Dugald is the birthplace of former National Hockey League goaltender Trevor Kidd, who played in 387 regular season games for four teams.
