Rails Across Ontario

Rails Across Ontariowill take the reader back to the times when rails ruled the economy and the landscape, and to places where they still do. It will lead to historic stations, railway museums, and heritage train rides. Learn about floating bridges and upside-down bridges. Follow old rail lines along Ontario's more popular rail trails. Find out where steam engines still puff over farm fields, where comfortable train coaches lead deep into the wilds of Ontario's Northland. VIA Rail offers regular routes along some on the province's oldest rail lines and past some its most historic stations, including one that has operated continuously since 1857. Discover long forgotten but once vital railway structures such as roundhouses, coal docks, and water towers.
