Country Dinner to Big Valley

Introduction

All Trains Depart And Return To Stettler, Alberta

POSTPONED UNTIL 2022. Country Dinner (A) type excursion is the most frequent and popular trip offered by Alberta Prairie Railway. These trips include a round-trip excursion on board a vintage passenger train from the 1920s lasting between five to five and one-half hours, a full course buffet meal at destination, entertainment, sightseeing & a train robbery. These events are great for children and families. The destination for Alberta Prairie excursions, unless otherwise indicated is Big Valley. That community was the divisional point for the Canadian Northern Railway in the early 1900s. Featured attractions include a fully restored railway station, the roundhouse interpretive centre, St. Edmund's Church, McAlister Motors Museum, the Hand Tool & Collectables Museum and Jimmy Jock Boardwalk.

Menu Options

Because of the nature of what it is we offer Alberta Prairie Railway is not able to provide alternative menu choices. Over the years we have been told that guests find the buffet more than ample with lots of choices. In special circumstances, and as an alternative to the meat dish offered, guests can request a quality vegan burger by pre-ordering at time of booking.

PUBLIC TIME TABLES

Alberta Prairie reserves the right to substitute excursions to destinations other than those shown in this schedule and to use alternative motive of power in case of mechanical failure.
