A trip on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train [View all]
Good Morning DU'ers,
Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe.
I thought it might be time to post some pics from another train route, this time from my home province of Ontario, Canada.
Back in 2015 my wife and I had the pleasure of riding the Agawa Canyon Tour Train, which runs on a day trip from from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (just across the border from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan) to the Agawa Canyon in Ontario's northern hinterland and thought we might share some pics.
The Agawa Canyon Tour Train began operation in 1964, carrying tourists to the scenic & popular Agawa Canyon. The train operates on the tracks of the Algoma Central Railway (ACR), now owned by Canadian National Railways (CN). The Algoma Central was a regional railway operating in Northern Ontario and when CN took over the line, it inherited the ACR's passenger service.
The pics are from our website at https://northamericabyrail.info/
Hope you enjoy!
Cheers, Pete
