Rails & Tales 2017 Canadian Steam Double Header Pt.1

Celebrating Canada's 150th birthday in classic steam style. This year's Rails & Tales event pulled out all the stops in commemorating Canada's birthday by teaming up Alberta Railway Museum's Canadian National H6G locomotive number 1392 with Alberta Prairie Railway Excursion's Consolidation engine 41 for a week of double header steaming up and down Alberta Prairie's track. Our twenty mile journey takes us over the lush farmlands of central Alberta between the towns of Stettler and Big Valley.
