Standard Gauge Railway

The Standard Gauge Railway excursions at Heritage Park Historical Village offer a quintessential journey through Canada’s prairie past, centered around the thundering power of authentic 1940s-era steam locomotives and modern additions.  Beyond the standard park transport, the railway hosts high-profile specialized events, most notably “Day Out With Thomas” in early May, where families can board an interactive train pulled by a full-sized Thomas the Tank Engine. For those seeking a more immersive or refined experience, the park offers the Springtime Express, which features theatrical storytelling and live music, and the prestigious River Forth Dinner Train, where guests enjoy a multi-course gourmet meal inside a beautifully restored luxury dining car. The 2026 fleet is more versatile than ever, utilizing a newly integrated 1951 diesel-electric locomotive for shoulder-season excursions and the solar-powered Nightingale accessible railcar, ensuring that the nostalgic “clack-clack” of the rails is an experience open to every visitor.
