All aboard! You can experience stunning hues of oranges, yellows and browns on an Ontario train ride this fall.
The Waterloo Central Railway lets you travel back in time with its authentic heritage train ride through Woolwich Township and Waterloo Region’s Mennonite farm country.
The historic rail line, which has been in service since the 1880s, offers stunning views throughout the autumn months.
Throughout the ride, you can take in breathtaking views of the changing leaves, picturesque countryside and beautiful farming landscape.
The regular train rides are a roundtrip journey, which is around 1 hour and 45 minutes long and will return to the same track that you left.
However, if you’re looking for more of an adventure, you can purchase a Hopper day pass, where you can get off at one of their stops, like St. Jacobs.
