British Columbia - Transit Museum Society, Downtown Historic Trolley
Vancouver, British Columbia - The Transit Museum Society of Vancouver, British Columbia was established in 1986 to restore, preserve and operate historical vehicles significant to the history of public transit in British Columbia.
On April 3, 1996 Mayor Philip Owen announced the purchase of the old Canadian Pacific, False Creek railway corridor which forms the basis for a demonstration line from Granville Island to "Leg-in-Boot Station". The Downtown Historic Railway demonstrates the City commitment to restoring urban electric rail to Vancouver. Proposed extensions will connect to the north side of False Creek and eventually north to Chinatown and Gastown, and then head west to Canada Harbour Place and Stanley Park. The City has already established rights of way on the south side of False Creek and on the Coal Harbour Waterfront.

You'll travel along the Arctic Watershed crossing historic rivers like the Abitibi and Moose, once the highways of the fur trade. The Polar Bear Express will take you to a sparsely populated land of forests, tranquil lakes, and muskeg. A land living in near isolation from the rest of the world.

Ontario - Port Stanley Terminal Rail
Port Stanley, Ontario - Port Stanley Terminal Rail operates over a scenic seven mile portion of the former London & Port Stanley Railway, between Port Stanley and St. Thomas, Ontario. The trains run from mid march to Christmas, mostly with volunteer help.
You can choose a seat in one of our open coaches for an unobstructed view, or you can choose to ride in a closed coach that's heated in winter. On our leisurely ride, you will cross over two bridges, traverse the boat-lined banks of Kettle Creek, look for deer in the apple orchards along the way, and marvel at the cuttings and fills created by hand labour so long ago. See some of the many plants and trees that grow along the track, many of which are unique to the north shore of Lake Erie.
