Waterloo Central Railway, Heritage railway in Waterloo, Canada.
The Waterloo Central Railway operates passenger service between Northfield Drive, St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, St. Jacobs village, and Elmira through Ontario's countryside.
The Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society received authorization in 2007 to operate trains from Waterloo to St. Jacobs, marking the beginning of heritage rail service.
The railway preserves Canadian transportation heritage through educational programs, teaching visitors about historical rail practices and locomotive restoration techniques.
Trains operate three times daily on Tuesdays from June to August, Thursdays from May to October, and Saturdays from April to October along the former Canadian National spur.
The organization maintains a restoration facility in St. Jacobs where volunteers work on vintage locomotives, including two diesel-powered switchers built in 1959.
