Prince George, B.C. – The Little Prince is back on track, and ready to roll  this weekend.

Throughout the summer, the Little Prince will be  doing the loop  noon to  4 on weekends and  holiday  Mondays through to  the Labour Day weekend in  September.    The encore  trip will take place on the Thanksgiving weekend in October  before  the  engine is  winterized and  put away until next year.

The 24” gauge steam engine is  more than  100 years old, having  celebrated its  centennial  in 2012.   It is expected to play a key  role in the  City’s Centennial celebrations next year.

But for now,  the Little Prince is  prepping  for another season at Exploration Place.  New this year, will be  sales of old fashioned ice cream  at the Train station.  Proceeds from  ice cream sales will go  towards supporting the  train’s operations.  Another fundraiser for the train,  comes in the way of  Little Prince t-shirt sales.
