About Prairie Dog Central Railway

In 1996 the Society was advised by CN that the Oak Point Subdivision was to be abandoned and in addition to that, the Transcona shops (where the train was stored and maintained) could no longer support the Prairie Dog Central Railway operations. Consequently, soon after 1996 the Prairie Dog Central Railway ceased its train operations for two seasons and the Society embarked on a major fundraising campaign and raised $1.3 million dollars to purchase the Oak Point Subdivision. The St. James Station had now been declared a Heritage Building by Parks Canada. Under special approval, the Station was relocated to its current location at Inkster Boulevard and Sturgeon Road along Prairie Dog Trail. Operations began shortly thereafter travelling from Inkster Junction Station to the Manitoba community of Grosse Isle for a stop-over, before heading back to Inkster Junction Station.

R	Rick Harrison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We just completed an evening trip on the Prairie Dog Central. The trip included a "robbery" by armed horsemen and some "turncoat sheriffs" and a meal with entertainment at the Grosse Isle Hall. I admire the dedication of the people that keep this living history available for all to enjoy. The engine and all the coaches are over 100 years old and kept in excellent shape.
K	Kyle Lenton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a unique experience. You feel like you're back in time in the classic, all original coaches from the early 1900's. You trundle along at 10-12 Mph, from Winnipeg to Grosse Isle, and then enjoy great heritage locations when you reach your destination. The porters are also very friendly and they offer different themes for the various days. We went on the clown theme day.
B	Brant Field on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A truly fabulous experience that the whole family will love. I'm a train nerd so my reasons for loving the Prairie Dog will likely differ from most people. Suffice it to say that every Manitoban needs to ride at least once, and for visitors to Winnipeg it needs to be on the list of things to do if you have the time. The locomotives change so make sure that if it's your first, or only ride, that you select a steam run. The diesel is great also but the steam is the authentic experience.
D	Dragos Nina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great family fun in a train from the 1900's! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful the entire ride. They try to make kids smile and have a great time. We went on the last ride of the season on Oct 29th. It was a Halloween theme and the entire train was decorated and they even wore costumes. Highly recommend it!
L	Lorne Dreger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a wonderful experience. Great prairie views, beautiful train and entertainment. Worth far more than what we paid. A must see.
T	Trevor McCloy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a cool experience for Manitoba, I can't wait until it opens again. I took some pictures and gave them a vintage look.
D	Don Mitchell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Buy tickets in advance. This is a great family friendly excursion. Teens may not be impressed, unless they are train enthusiasts. But children young and young at heart will enjoy this Manitoba treasure.
L	Lori Pickerl on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really fun, went for the theme bandits and the horses running along side the train was awsome. Suggest avoiding wasp season as we went once then and my son got stung. Bring some cash as the hot dogs are amazing and baked pastries. Theres a mini train ride for the kids when you get there. Check out the guy who sells hand carved and painted items (magnets $7, figurines$9, and bigger items$50,very amazing stuff. The on board entertainment is excellent, the duo band is very interactive. This will be a yearly event for us.
