Monday:       

 

 

Monday, a local holiday in Manitoba, we have arranged a trip on the Prairie Dog Central vintage locomotive.  We have it on good authority that a desperate band of outlaws will be staging a holdup, but we'll have a posse nearby to stop them.

The cost of the train ride is £20.00 ($40.00).
