    Still running? Do they actually take it for rides from time to time?

    Wow, still running ! Does the train carry tourists into the mine, and do they wear hard hats ? Thanks for sharing.

    This train actually carries passengers in old original coal mining cars that used to run in the mine. This train runs on a very small portion of what used to be the CN Drumheller Sub from what I understand. The mine itself is up a couple hundred feet up the mountainside.
