Waterloo – St. Jacobs Railway, Heritage railway in Waterloo Region, Canada.

The Waterloo Central Railway operates passenger trains between Northfield Drive, St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, St. Jacobs Village, and Elmira town.

Starting operations in 1997 as Waterloo-St. Jacobs Railway with two 1950s diesel locomotives, the service transformed into Waterloo Central Railway in 2007.

The railway excursions pass through the agricultural landscapes of Old Order Mennonite farms, offering views of traditional farming methods.

The Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society maintains the railway through ticket sales and operates seasonal schedules on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The railway features specialized train journeys including Christmas-themed rides and agricultural market connections throughout the Waterloo region.
