Canadian Rail Excursions
Northern Ontario offers scenic train excursions for visitors of all ages.
Agawa Canyon
Running north from Sault Ste. Marie on the shores of Lake Superior, the world-famous Agawa Canyon train excursion winds its way deep into forested ravines, beside sparkling lakes, over narrow trestle bridges and into a vast mountain valley where passengers can enjoy a picnic lunch beside a serene river, explore a wooded nature trail or climb to the 250-foot lookout for a spectacular view of the immense gorge below.

The Polar Bear Express
The Polar Bear Express offers the ultimate wilderness adventure to the land of fur trappers and Cree Natives in Canada's Near Arctic. From Cochrane to Moosonee at the edge of James Bay, the train winds its way through forest, scrub brush, muskeg and Arctic tundra. Visit Ontario's oldest Hudson's Bay Company settlement at Moose Factory and watch as Natives fashion tamarack birds and bake bannock bread right before your eyes!
Ask a CANTOURS planner to create a "train buffs" tour incorporating one or all of these unique rail adventures.
