The building that currently houses the train is in need of replacement
It leaks, floods and is too small to store the amount of wood needed to run the train
The train is a well-loved attraction for tourists and locals alike
“This 24-inch engine is one of those tick marks train enthusiasts can only get if they come to Prince George” says Tracy Calogheros, CEO of the Exploration Place
In 91 days of operation last year, the train carried nearly 26,000 passengers
Council has also been asked to start a reserve fund to cover unexpected repairs
As the only 24 gauge wood-fired steam engine in the world, the Little Prince requires custom parts
