This summer, take a trip through picturesque prairie fields on Saskatchewan’s first full-sized tourist railway – The Southern Prairie Railway.
This historic train “pulling the past into the future” will take you on an adventure to Pangman and Horizon from Ogema, located approximately 115 kilometres south of Regina.
Southern Prairie Railway offers various themed train excursions on a 1925 Passenger car, pulled by a General Electric 44-ton switcher locomotive along 70 miles of private track.
Each ride includes fun activities, like trips to the local farmers market, delicious food, beautiful views of prairie wildlife and so much more.
The Heritage Train Ride takes you through the open prairies to Horizon, Sask. A guide will share historical facts with you on your ride. This also includes a tour of the 1922 Federal Grain Elevator. This train ride is 2.5 hours long.
Take a trip back in time on Settler’s Supper Train Ride. You can wear period clothes on this ride! You will be served a delicious BBQ meal with deserts and so much more on this 3.5 hour ride.
On the 2.5 hours long Pangman Farmer’s Market Train Tour, you will travel to the farmer’s market in Pangman Village from Ogema Station. At the market, you can buy a wide variety of items including vegetables, crafts, baked items and many other products.
They also offer a Kids’ Fun Train Ride which is a 2.5 hours fun-filled adventure for Pangman. Your kids will enjoy activities, such as face painting and playing with balloon animals. They will also be served cake and lunch.
The Railway has two exciting train ride options: the Morning Robbery Train Ride and the Afternoon Robbery Ride. Both of these options include a tour of the 1922 Elevator at Horizon. On this train ride, you will be “robbed” by local outlaws. All the money that has been stolen will be donated to STARS ambulance and Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
Southern Prairie Railway offers three more food themed trips:
- A unique pitchfork fondue supper (western steak oil fry) with real pitchforks on the Prairie Pitchfork Fondue Train Ride to Horizon.
- A yummy 3.5 hours Texas Style BBQ and Train Ride adventure where you will enjoy a delicious meal from Bud’s BBQ. You will also get honey-glazed donuts on this ride.
- On the Craft Beer Train Ride, you can enjoy a delicious locally brewed beer on your ride to Horizon. This also includes a tour of the 1922 Federal Grain Elevator and the ride back to Ogema.
If you are visiting Ogema, do not forget to plan a trip to Big Muddy Badlands located just an hour away.
