Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions, Heritage railway in Stettler, Canada
Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions operates passenger trains from Stettler across a 34-kilometer route that connects to Big Valley through open prairie. The trains stop at heritage stations and countryside locations along the journey.
The railway began operations in 1990 and features a steam locomotive from 1920 that was originally built for another railway operator. This engine represents how heritage railways repurpose historic machinery for modern excursions.
The excursions feature staged train robberies that connect to how railways shaped Western Canadian identity. These performances bring visitors closer to regional traditions tied to the railway era.
Journeys last around five to six hours and include meal service and scheduled stops where you can get off. Dress in layers since you may spend time in open air and prairie weather can change quickly.
The coaches come from different railways and time periods, meaning each journey connects vehicles with distinct histories and designs. Passengers experience a mix of railway car styles from various eras all working together on the same route.
