St. Thomas, Railway city in southwestern Ontario, Canada.
St. Thomas extends across 35 square kilometers at an elevation of 230 meters, featuring numerous parks and historical buildings throughout its urban landscape.
The settlement, established in 1810 and named after Colonel Thomas Talbot, transformed into a major railway junction with 26 different rail lines by the late 1800s.
The Elgin County Railway Museum and Elgin Military Museum preserve the regional heritage through collections of artifacts and educational programs for visitors.
The city maintains public transportation routes connecting residential areas to educational facilities, including Fanshawe College campus and multiple schools across different districts.
A life-sized statue commemorates Jumbo, the circus elephant that met its end in St. Thomas during 1885 when struck by a locomotive.
