What is Ironhorse Park?Iron Horse Park is a re-creation in miniature of the railway pioneer days in the Canadian West. When complete there will be a 1 1/2 mile miniature train interpretive journey for kids of all ages. The journey will represent the Canadian Pacific Railway from the prairies to the coast. The trip will climb mountains, cross trestles, through tunnels on both steam and diesel locomotives. Along the route you will travel past small scale farmsteads, towns and industries typical of the area. (Read more....) Check us out at Supertrain, April 19 and 20.As we have done for many, many years now, we will again participate in Calgary's annual Supertrain. This show
hosts exhibitors from many parts of the country and has model trains of many scales from the tiny "Z" scale, through HO, and G scale,
to, well, ours (7-1/2") which is the largest scale of course. Note that the venue has changed for this year (see map link below).
The show is at the Annual operating season from May Long weekend to October Thanksgiving day weekend.The Sunday of the "May Long" weekend marks the annual opening to the public of the next running season. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Come and experience an interpretive journey on the 2 km of track which is currently operational. We are open to the public every Sunday between 11:00AM and 4:00PM until the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in October. See location information below on this page.
