Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions
A Major Alberta Attraction - Great For The Whole Family
Enjoy a complete day on the train!
Alberta Prairie offers an exciting one day adventure on board a real steam or
diesel-powered train. Different themes are enacted throughout the season, including
murder mysteries, family, dinner theatre, seniors and teddy bear specials.
For a day full of activities which is truly different and
interesting,
read on! 
At some point during your excursion the train may be brought to a
screeching halt. Look out! It's the dreaded outlaw "Reynolds Raiders". They
are known to frequent these parts and on occasion hold up the train. But fear
not the Canadian Métis hero, Gabriel Dumont, is there to stop them. After
a short but furious gun battle, the money the outlaws took from passengers
is retrieved. Since it's impossible to tell who the money belongs to, it is
donated to a number of children's charities.
The train leaves Stettler, Alberta, and returns five to six hours later.
Stettler is located in the Heart of Central Alberta and is a leisurely
three hour drive from Calgary; Alberta, two and one-half hours from Edmonton,
Alberta.
All excursions include a full course buffet meal which is included in the fare,
on board entertainment and maybe even a train robbery. All meals during the
summer are presented in the community hall in Big Valley, a large tent in Big
Valley or the community hall in
Stettler.
During your journey on board the train you will travel through the beautiful
rolling and treed countryside of Alberta's Parkland.
Where is Alberta Prairie located in Stettler?
Alberta Prairie's station and passenger loading area is located
at
4611- 47 Avenue in Stettler, Alberta which is in the south-east part of town.
Head for the only yellow-coloured grain elevator and you will end up right at
the station. |
