Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions is a heritage railway originating in Stettler, Alberta.
The train runs between Stettler and Big Valley. The trips last five to six hours, with a stopover (all excursions include a buffet meal). Many trains (see the schedule[1]) are pulled by the No. 41 1920 Baldwin 2-8-0 steam locomotive, formerly Mississippian Railway #77.
