WIN a FREE package of 4 tickets to Celebrations Dinner Theatre!  Luck Be A Lady is the Dinner Theatre’s performance from August 7 – October 10.  If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be front and centre when the infamous Rat Pack performed at the Sands Hotel in Vegas during the late '50's and early '60 here's your chance.  Frankie and Dino are the best of friends and two of the hottest acts in Vegas. They are also two of the worst poker players in town and find themselves loaded with gambling debts to their casino boss and suspected mobster, Hombly Hills Malone.

To top that off, Frankie falls in love with the mobster's wife. Now they have only 24 hours to get the girl, win back the money, pay off their debts and do the 6 shows a night they are contracted to perform. Its either that or rob the casino, fake their own death, become showgirls or perhaps all three.  In tradition of the Sinatra Rat Pack movies of Robin and the 7 Hoods and the original Ocean's 11, Celebrations'/Jubilations' Luck Be A Lady takes you back to the glorious, ring-a-ding-ding, days of Vegas in the 50's and 60's with the timeless music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and many other Vegas standards. It was a time of showgirls, late nights, single malt scotch, good friends and laughter!

You could be the lucky WINNER of the FREE ticket package for four persons just by entering our on-board contest.  From May 9^th through to August 30^th, guests aboard the Prairie Dog Central Railway’s regularly scheduled Events can enter to WIN this FREE package that can be used at the Celebrations Dinner and Theatre performances of Luck Be A Lady between September 5^th and 30^th.  Prairie Dog Central Railway ~ MORE than just a train ride!

FARMER'S MARKET DAY!  It's an adventure!  Looking for farm-fresh items?  Shop at Grosse Isle!  Be sure to get your tickets early and come on board the Prairie Dog Central vintage train!

Pulled by STEAM locomotive No. 3 (except on July 11) you'll have time to visit rural Manitoba as you've never seen it before.  Meet the folks at Grosse Isle -- and see what they have for sale!

We'll also be having a photo run-by, too!  "What the heck is a photo run-by?", you ask.

At a location along the route, the train will stop.  Passengers will be allowed to get off the train and stand to one side under the watchful eyes of our On Board Staff.  The train will then back away from the crowd -- perhaps a 1/4-mile or so -- and then come back to the crowd at track speed!  Once the whole train has gone by, it returns to pick up the passengers who caught the magic of the run-by on digital and video cameras!  For a sampling of what a photo run-by is all about, click on this link:  San Diego Steam Special - Photo Runby  

When you come, make sure that you have LOTS of film (or batteries!) and use a tri-pod for steadiness, too!

With STEAM locomotive No. 3 on July 4 and 5 there will be lots of smoke, the whistle will be constantly blowing, and the bell will be ringing!
 

On July 11 when Classic Diesel Locomotive 4138 is operating, you'll hear the whine of the 1,500 HP diesel engine, the blasts from the air horn, and of course the bell ringing!

PRAIRIE DOG CENTRAL RAILWAY DAY!  While standing on the Station platform, if you look down the track you'll see the train coming!  We'll get on board and ride in 1900-era railway passenger coaches lovingly restored to look factory fresh.  The train is pulled by a 1957 Classic Diesel locomotive!  One of almost 4,000 GP9 Diesel locomotives built General Motors' Electro-Motive Division in the United States, and General Motors Diesel in Canada between 1954 and 1963, this historical locomotive operates with 1,500 horsepower (1.12 MW). 

We'll leave the Station at 11:00 and travel down the line to Grosse Isle.  There we'll stop, get off, and perhaps buy a sandwich, an ice cream, some popcorn, a coffee, water or soda.  After checking out the items for sale by the local vendors, be sure to drop in to the fully restored Station building.  Originally from another small town in Manitoba, the Station building has been restored.  And beside it is one of the original homes from the Grosse Isle area!  It's in the process of being completely restored.  And just across the tracks is the Prime Meridian Trail.  A former railway line long abandoned, it is cared for by the Prime Meridian Trail Association.  All too soon we're back on board for our return to the Inkster Jct. Station.

On our leisurely trip back a no-charge raffle will be held on board and a very lucky person is going to win a FREE HO-scale Prairie Dog Central Railway Train!  A working 4-4-0 steam locomotive (not the Classic Diesel) plus three railway passenger coaches and the Party Caboose!  And another person will win a FREE on-board no-charge draw to ride in the Classic Diesel locomotive, ring the bell and blow the horn as the locomotive is put away in the Maintenance Shop!

But our trip isn't over yet!  Stay around for some picture taking moments!  There will be a step box placed in front of our Classic Diesel locomotive 4138 and YOU can use your camera to take your picture!

LOWER FORT GARRY DAY!  Sponsored by Parks Canada, this is a great way to relive history on board a 1900-vintage train and at the same time preview another historical part of Manitoba!  An early Hudson's Bay Company post, Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site of Canada is also commemorated as the place where Treaty #1 was signed between the Ojibwa and Swampy Cree of Manitoba and the Crown.

Join us on July 26 as you are greeted at the Station and joined on board the train by costumed interpreters who will take you back to the mid-1800s.  They each assume the role of someone who lived in the Red River Settlement in the 1850s and are able to discuss any aspect of Red River history in character. This means that you are able to speak with someone "living" in the mid-19th century!

MURDER EXPRESS!  Trouble seems to find Jack Elton; during what he had hoped would be a relaxing honeymoon train excursion with his new bride, he is plunged into a murder investigation.  One of his fellow travelers has been found dead in a coach washroom on The Last Spike Special, pulled by STEAM locomotive No. 3, en route from Inkster Junction via Grosse Isle on its way to Warren.  At first it looks like Oscar Dempster took his own life.  But with the help of another passenger Jack sets out to prove otherwise.

The clock is ticking and the miles pass.  The perpetrator must be identified before the train arrives at Warren.  Jack will get to know some of his coach mates more intimately than he intended, for at least one of them is a deadly assassin. Based upon the book written by Canadian Robert Scott and the mystery VIA Rail train from Vancouver to Calgary, Robert was privileged to have the late Mordecai Richler as a professor.  Murder Express is his third book for AVALON in the Jack Elton mystery series.  We might even be privileged to have the author, Robert Scott, join us person, too!

After the mystery is resolved at Warren and on our way back to our Station, one lucky person will win a FREE PAIR of DVD's ... appropriately themed, of course!

TRANS SIBERIAN RAILWAY DAY!  We're not going to Siberia -- especially in August!  But you don't want to miss out on this Event!  From Confederation to the early-1900s, the federal government began the long process of preparing the "Last Best West" for large-scale European immigration, and in doing so, gave the West a Canadian identity.  Imagine what it was like to travel over one hundred years ago on a train that brought immigrants to Canada.  From Pier 21 in Halifax and after your boat voyage from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and other countries the view of the wide open Prairies would have seemed like Heaven!

FREE Eastern European snacks!  Musical entertainment at the Station before you board the train -- and on board, too!  One lucky passenger will go home with a FREE DVD, too!  By the way, here are some tidbits about the Trans Siberian Railway.  The Trans-Siberian Railway or Trans-Siberian Railroad (Транссибирская магистраль, Транссиб in Russian, or Transsibirskaya magistral', Transsib) is a network of railways connecting Moscow and European Russia with the Russian Far East provinces, Mongolia, China and the Sea of Japan.  It runs from Moscow to Vladivostok via southern Siberia and was built between 1891 and 1916.  At 9,288 kilometers (5,772 miles), spanning 8 time zones and taking about 7 days to complete its journey, it is the third-longest single continuous service in the world.  The route was opened by Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovitch of Russia after his eastern journey ended.  The Trans-Siberian Railway is the theme for the 1900 Trans-Siberian Railway Fabergé egg and the Railway is longer than the Great Wall of China.

Train departure is at 11:00 am and we'll be back at the Station around 2:30 in the afternoon.  Food and refreshments are available at both Grosse Isle and Warren, or bring your own picnic basket!

When you come, make sure that you have LOTS of film (or batteries!) and use a tri-pod for steadiness, too!

With STEAM locomotive No. 3 there will be lots of smoke, the whistle will be constantly blowing, and the bell will be ringing!

GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY!  For the last two years, the Great Train Robbery has been an Event not to be missed!  This year there are three of these Events and on August 30 the train is pulled by STEAM locomotive No. 3!  One of them will be an old-fashioned style robbery with horses, bad guys (and gals!) and an on-board hold up!  The other two?  Well, you just might see Bonnie and Clyde and maybe you might see the Keystone Kops, too!

Be sure to buy your tickets early -- the Event is great and you just don't know who is going to hold you up until you're on your way!  It doesn't matter which one you are on -- one lucky passenger will go home with a FREE pair of DVDs!

RAIL SAFETY DAY!  At our Inkster Jct. Station, and sponsored by Operation Lifesaver, the Prairie Dog Central Railway along with other Winnipeg-area railways and police agencies will be promoting the important message of railway safety.

The site is open at no charge to everybody.  Pay only $10 (including GST) for the many train rides!

The goal is to reduce injuries by increasing everybody’s understanding that each individual has a personal responsibility to avoid mishaps at railway crossings and not to trespass on railway property.  A key message will be that it takes an average freight train up to a mile to come to a complete stop in an emergency.

Come and spend a few hours -- or spend the day!  We'll have our own railway equipment on display.  Diesel locomotive 4138 will be pulling the trains (there are four trips that day!) and we'll have our Party Caboose for you to explore!

Go for a ride in our HyRail truck!  A 1-ton pick-up truck that can travel on the rails! 

Visit the Maintenance Shop and see STEAM locomotive No. 3.

Our volunteers will explain how a STEAM locomotive works by using coal as fuel -- with water!

BNSF is expected to have their Operation Lifesaver Caboose on display!

There will also be a CN locomotive on display, and CN might have their Operation Lifesaver Caboose, too!

Rail Safety Presentations given by CN Police, with videos and hand out material for children!

Join us for railway equipment displays and a chance to WIN a FREE ride on board our locomotive at the end of day!

  The site is open at no charge to everybody.  Pay only $10 (including GST) for the many train rides!

TICKETS can be purchased on September 13 at our Station Ticket Office.  ADVANCE tickets can be purchased from our Station Ticket office on Saturdays and Sundays between 9:30 am and 11:30 am or by sending an email with your NAME and TELEPHONE NUMBER to Station Ticket Office.  Upon receipt of your email our Ticket Agents will contact you on the NEXT SATURDAY or SUNDAY by telephone, obtain details of your credit card information, and arrange to mail the tickets at no charge.

RAILWAY FALL SUPPER!  Hop on board, and listen to STEAM locomotive No. 3 whistle to go to the Railway Fall Supper at Grosse Isle!

Our Railway Fall Supper provides an opportunity to ride back into time on a 1900-vintage train and enjoy the savory goodness of old-fashioned home-cooked food freshly prepared by the Grosse Isle Recreation Centre. 

Community fall suppers on Canada’s Prairies go back in time when rural one room school districts each had their annual suppers.  With seating on the train for only three hundred, this is an always sell-out event ... so BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY!.  Originally known as "fowl" suppers, farm poultry used to include duck, geese, chicken and turkey.  The main event of a fall supper is not the main course of turkey and mashed potatoes with all of the trimmings, but it is dessert, where large tables are covered with wedges of pies of all kinds.
