46 R u s h Get on track >> Prairie Dog Central — Travel to yesteryear aboard a vintage turn-of-the-century steam train, a d r e n a l i n e while relaxing in fully restored coaches built between 1901 and 1913. Offering weekend excursions through the summer and fall, the Prairie Dog runs iconic Steam Engine No. 3 from Inkster Junction in Winnipeg to scenic Grosse Isle. The ride passes through picturesque prairie at a leisurely 25 kilometres an hour, and at the end of the line, you can enjoy hot dogs and homemade pastries, view antique autos and cruise the petting zoo. Best of all, the railway runs on volunteer power — it's staffed by members of the non-profit Vintage Locomotive Prairie Dog Central Society. For schedules, see www.pdcrailway.com.
