Southern Prairie Railway

The Southern Prairie Railway in Ogema, Saskatchewan, is a wonderful heritage railway experience set in the heart of the Canadian prairies. This charming short-line operation runs vintage diesel-powered excursion trains through the wide-open prairie landscape of southern Saskatchewan, offering passengers a taste of what rail travel was like across the wheat-farming heartland of Canada. The railway is based at the restored Ogema train station, a preserved heritage structure that serves as the jumping-off point for excursions through the surrounding farmland and communities. The railway celebrates the vital role that branch-line railways played in the settlement and development of the Canadian prairies, connecting remote farming communities to markets and the wider world. Themed events and special runs are offered throughout the season, making each visit a unique and memorable experience. The Southern Prairie Railway is part of the deep railway heritage of Saskatchewan, a province whose landscape was shaped profoundly by the expansion of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors can explore the heritage station, view vintage rolling stock, and enjoy the timeless scenery of the Saskatchewan prairie.
