Calgary Caboose Rides
Enjoy a Calgary train ride aboard Heritage Park's little red caboose! A brightly painted caboose, topped by a little observation cupola, brought up the rear of every freight train. This wooden caboose was built in 1912 by the Canadian Pacific Railway at Angus Shops in Montreal. During the 1990s cabooses were retired from North American railways and replaced with electronic end-of-train units. Ride the Upper Caboose and enjoy a spectacular prairie view. Or take a ride in the Lower Caboose and feel the rumble of the train chugging along the tracks.
Upper Caboose Tickets (SOLD OUT)
Lower Caboose Tickets (SOLD OUT)
Limited Caboose Ride tickets will be available on the day of.
