The Train Ride


The tour train leaves at 8 am and arrives at the canyon around 11:30 am. The 1940's passenger cars apparently are being up dated soon (Ont govt is making an investment) which will be great for the already large tourist market. The canyon is at Mile 112. Passenger trains have a speed limit of 35 mph (freight is 25 mph) so it is a leisurely trip and lots of time to look, reflect and just soak it all in. We took the train on Sept 12. If I were to do it again, and I likely will, I think I'd wait to the 3rd week of Sept. The colours just got better and better with each passing day.
