| Herbert Train Museum |
The old Herbert train
station is now a train museum. On the
grounds are three pieces of rolling stock: a snowplow, a caboose and a boxcar.

From a sign inside the station:
"Faspa
is a coffee-break, tea-time. A coffee and cake time between lunch and supper.
Traditionally, Mennonite homes served Faspa on a regular basis. ... Homemade
bread, accompanied by butter, jams, and sometimes meat and cheese formed the
centerpiece of Faspa. Frequently cakes and cookies followed the bread course...
Nowadays Faspa is typically reserved for company on Sunday afternoons. Faspa is
not necessarily served because people are hungry or thirsty, but rather as a
show of hospitality."
