Winnipeg has two grand old railway stations, one of which is still in use as a passenger terminal.
The older of the pair is the old Canadian Pacific station which was built in 1904 and remained in passenger rail use until 1978. It was used as a CP office building until the early 1990s at which point it became the Aboriginal Centre of Winnipeg. The CP main line still runs directly behind it although all of the passenger rail infrastructure was torn out years ago.

An interior view (the white ceiling was once glass, but it was filled in somewhere along the way). Right up until CP vacated the building in the 1990s there were still passenger benches in this big hall and various signs like "TICKET OFFICE" and "BAGGAGE ROOM" hanging from the ceiling, as though a passenger train could have rolled in at any time!

The younger of the two big Winnipeg railway stations is Union Station, which was built by three railways and opened in 1911. It is still used by VIA Rail for eight arrivals and departures a week (10 in the summer), although most of the space in the building is used for various government offices. This building is well taken care of and appears to be in very good shape (although the train shed has seen better days):

In addition to the "big two" stations, there were/are numerous smaller stations scattered in and around Winnipeg. The only one I'll note here is the Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway terminal, which was built in 1929 and served as the main station for the municipally-owned GWWD Railway.
The GWWD Railway exists essentially to service the aqueduct which brings Winnipeg's municipal drinking water in from Shoal Lake, Ontario. Passenger service ceased sometime during the 70s or 80s, but the station remains in use as the GWWD Railway's office. It is located in a drab industrial park in St. Boniface.
