Southern Prairie Railway is a tourist railway operated by the Ogema Heritage Railway Association (OHRA) in Ogema, Saskatchewan.
History
Southern Prairie Railway offers train tours that travel from Ogema to Pangman, Saskatchewan and Horizon, Saskatchewan.[1] The tours operate on weekends from May to October.[1] Chartered trips are also available.[1]
The centerpiece of their operation is a fully restored 1912 CP Rail train station. The station was moved to Ogema from Simpson, Saskatchewan in 2002, as the original station was removed in 1960s. The feature engine is a 1945 GE "44 tonner" diesel locomotive purchased in 2010 from Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway, New Hampshire.[2][1] Also purchased in 2010, the 1925 Pullman low-roof passenger car arrived from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and received a top-to-bottom restoration.[2] Staff and volunteers are also working to restore a 1952 CP Rail baggage car and a 1977 CP Rail wide-vision caboose to join the fleet.[1]
