Rolling stock

The railway is powered by locomotive No. 7 - a 1929 Baldwin 2-8-2ST steam locomotive departing from the 1912 CPR Station. It uses rebuilt Canadian National Railway transfer cabooses as passenger cars. The 40-minute excursions go to the McLean Mill National Historic Site.

Along with the steam locomotives, there is an Alco RS3 diesel electric locomotive. There are five running coaches, three open and two covered.
