Alberta Prairie Railway - Stettler to Warden - July 28, 2024

After spending the day riding the Alberta Prairie Railway on July 27, before heading home to Edmonton we chased the southbound train to the Country Hideaway at Warden, Alberta. The train was led by APXX 7438, a former New York Central, Penn Central and Conrail Canadian GP9, which was then purchased by the Central Western Railway, a shortline in Western Canada. As well, the train operates with a consist of coaches in the classic CN Green and Gold Scheme, along with a caboose. We'll see the train at 3 spots, with multiple angles at each location and then take an aerial tour of the Alberta Prairie's Warden Yard, which features some eclectic equipment; inside the red barn is the CN 6060 undergoing some major work.

If you haven't checked out the Alberta Prairie Railway, it is worth the trip; both for a train ride and for a railfan chase!
