Are trains still operating with some frequency to Prince Alpert and surrounding area?Is there still train service to the surrounding areas from Prince Alpert?

Omnitrax's Carlton Trail Railway is still running, Prince Albert is their main base of operations.  The ex-CN roundhouse is still in use, complete with an operating air-powered turntable.  

Carlton Trail interchanges with CN in Saskatoon.  

The only rail access to Prince Albert is from the south, on the ex-CN line to Warman (CN still owns the section from Warman to Saskatoon).  All others have been abandoned or mothballed, I believe the rail is still in place from Prince Albert to Melfort but except for car storage near PA it has not been used for many years.

Greetings from Alberta
