Viking station is on the Canadian National Railway (CN) mainline in Viking, Alberta. The station is served by Via Rail's The Canadian two times per week in each direction as a flag stop (48 hours advance notice required).[1]

The old CN station building has been restored[2] and now operates as a tea room, tourist information centre and art gallery,[3] featuring original work from local artists.
