Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions

All aboard for adventure in the heart of the Alberta prairies! Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions, based in Stettler, Alberta, has been thrilling visitors since 1990 with one-of-a-kind train adventures through the beautiful parkland and prairie landscape of central Alberta. The journey runs from Stettler to either the Village of Big Valley — home to a restored 1912 railway station and fascinating roundhouse ruins — or to Alberta Prairie’s Country Hideaway at Warden Junction, featuring hayrides and nature walks. The trains are pulled by vintage steam or diesel locomotives, including the iconic 1920 Baldwin 2-8-0 steam engine No. 41 and the Montreal Locomotive Works 4-8-2 No. 6060. Every excursion includes a hearty buffet meal, lively on-board entertainment, and a very good chance your train will be dramatically robbed by the notorious Reynolds Raiders outlaw gang — with all recovered money donated to children’s charities! Themed excursions throughout the year include country dinners, adults-only evenings, Polar Express holiday rides, and more. With over 35 years of operation, this is Central Alberta’s premier tourist attraction and one of Canada’s most entertaining heritage railway experiences.
