Port Stanley Terminal Rail, Heritage railway in Port Stanley, Canada
Port Stanley Terminal Rail is a heritage railway in Ontario that carries passengers on vintage diesel locomotives built in the 1940s and 1950s. The journey runs along restored tracks through rural Ontario countryside for about an hour.
Volunteers began restoring the abandoned London and Port Stanley Railway in 1983 to keep this transport route alive. The operation received official Provincial status in 1987 and has grown into a working railway since then.
The railway shows how volunteers have kept local train traditions alive and shared them with visitors over many years. It is a place where you can feel the connection between people and their industrial past.
Trains run on weekends and daily during summer months, with each journey lasting about an hour. Check ahead for specific operating dates, as schedules vary depending on the season.
The operating locomotives come from two different manufacturers and show various technical solutions from the same era. Each of these machines has its own history and was carefully maintained by dedicated enthusiasts.
