Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions

Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions offers passengers the chance to relax in vintage railway coaches while travelling through Alberta’s stunning prairies.

The one-day adventures begin and end in Stettler, 80 km (50 mi) east of Red Deer. The trains are pulled by either steam or diesel locomotives and stop at either the Village of Big Valley with its restored 1912 railway station or Alberta Prairie’s Country Hideaway at Warden Junction, where you can enjoy hayrides and nature walks. And not to give too much away, but there is a good chance that trains will be halted and robbed by the outlaws known as Reynolds Raiders.

A variety of excursions, including adults-only, country dinner and Father’s Day, are available. Whichever excursion you choose, you’ll find entertainment on board and at your destination.

    DO MORE IN STETTLER

    Trip includes round-trip train journey to Big Valley for the model train show, a full course buffet style Alberta roast of beef and gravy meal at the Community Hall and some sightseeing and exploring, and then off to the Hideaway.  In Big Valley, there will be time to visit Granny’s Fudge Factory and All That Buzz, the Canadian Northern restored station, the vintage automobiles, trucks and household artifacts at McAlister’s Garage Museum, and Big Valley’s world-class Hand-tool and Collectibles Museum. At the Hideaway hayrides, nature walks, children’s barrel train, old-time carnival games, and rubber ducky races are all part of the excitement. Mine payroll on board increases the danger of being hit by the Reynolds Raiders horse-mounted outlaw gang.
