Diesel Locomotive
Arrive early so you can join us and as we appreciate the time and workmanship that has been invested in the restoration and maintenance of the model airplanes and vintage vehicles on display at Inkster Junction Station. As we make our way to Grosse Isle, look out for the vintage vehicles as they follow us up the track, ready to join us during the stopover. Walk through our diesel locomotive, take a stroll through the 1886 homestead, the 1 room schoolhouse and the church before we head back to the city. This is a great way to spend your Saturday!

Great Train Robbery - Cowboys 'n Gals
Sunday, August 27th
Steam Locomotive No.3
We are creeping up the track hoping to throw the troublesome robbers of the scent. Take part in an old fashioned sing-song with our onboard entertainment as we make our way to the rural community of Grosse Isle. We are hoping for an uninterrupted ride but we have been advised that there is a chance of a hold up and the cowboys and gals on horseback have been spotted looking for their next haul. On arrival pick up a freshly prepared smokie or hotdog, enjoy some baking and an ice cream before taking a stroll through the wonderfully restored Heritage Village. During the return trip appreciate more live music as we wrap up this fun filled and fully interactive trip.
All donations collected will go to Helping Hands for Manitobans with Breast Cancer
Helping Hands for Manitobans with Breast Cancer Inc. provides assistance to women and men in Manitoba who are experiencing financial difficulties while undergoing treatment and follow-up for breast cancer. We help with expenses that simply fall through the cracks, such as parking, medications, lymphedema garments, wellness programs, rural client mileage/ meals/ accommodations to appointments; and many more. We receive no funding from any levels of government nor any other cancer organizations and rely on donations, grants, third party fundraisers, and our own fundraisers.
