Aspen Crossing

Many of Alberta’s earliest communities grew up around the railway. Today, Aspen Crossing sits astride one of the few stretches of ex-CP Rail line that the public can journey over. Alberta’s rich heritage and expansive prairie landscapes create a stunning backdrop for many unique and fun rail adventures, from a champagne brunch to a 1980s retro train.
