York–Durham Heritage Railway, Heritage railway in Regional Municipality of Durham, Canada.
The York-Durham Heritage Railway spans through Ontario landscapes, offering train excursions between stations with vintage locomotives and restored passenger cars.
The railway began operations in 1868 as the Toronto and Nipissing Railway with narrow gauge tracks, later converted to standard gauge in 1882.
Local volunteers and railway professionals collaborate to maintain this preserved railway, educating visitors about Canadian transportation methods from previous centuries.
Train services operated from June through October with scheduled departures on weekends, requiring advance reservations for special seasonal events.
