Take a ride in
a time machine, as we clickety-clack down the tracks into yesteryear.
You'll enjoy a trip aboard a vintage train, just as early settlers
once did. Travel in the comfort of one the Vintage Locomotive Society's
fully restored, historic wooden coaches, built between 1901 and 1913.
History surrounds you, as you imagine former dignitaries, farmers and
prime ministers, who once travelled this great land of ours by rail
- just like aboard The Prairie Dog Central. You may even be sitting
in the same seat as one of these great Canadian pioneers once did.
Prairie Dog Central
for a 4 hour DXpedition on the rails!
The
plans were to operate 2 Metre, 6 Metre and
HF from the moving train as well as at the stop over in Warren Manitoba.
Operating times were scheduled on a first ticket purchased, first
operated basis. Activities for non-hams were arranged at the stop-over.
