Aspen Crossing Railway

The Aspen Crossing Railway is a premier destination for rail enthusiasts and families alike, located in Mossleigh, Alberta, offering a deeply immersive journey into the heart of the Canadian prairies. Operating on a 14-mile stretch of the historic CPR Lomond Subdivision, the railway provides more than just a scenic ride; it serves as a moving theater that captures the spirit of rural heritage. The excursions are led by vintage locomotives and a fleet of meticulously restored cars, including a rare 1887 Pullman private car once used by high-ranking officials and an open-air observation car that provides unobstructed views of the expansive Big Sky Country. The diversity of their programming is what sets them apart, ranging from the high-energy Great Prairie Train Heist, which features live-action roleplayers and “raids” for charity, to the more sophisticated Champagne Brunch and Wine & Cheese excursions that cater to adults seeking a refined culinary experience. During the autumn, the railway transforms into the Train of Terror, a hauntingly popular attraction for thrill-seekers, followed by the enchanting Polar Express Train Ride in the winter, which brings the classic holiday story to life with golden tickets, hot cocoa, and a visit from Santa.
