This was one of the places we would always stop at when my family and I would travel to the Niagara Region for our summer vacation when I was a kid. Stopped in to reconnect with my youth as well as with the memory of my dad (he used to work as a fireman on 4-8-4s out of Hornpayne back in the day). It was a bit of an emotional visit. Sadly to to preservation work being done/needed you can't enter the locomotive cab or the caboose at this time.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI am always amazed at just how big steam engines are the drive wheels on this are 6 feet in diameter.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateGreat spot for a walk about. Relocated train station from Ridgeway. Locomotive. And plane in Sugarbowl Park with dog park, pond, walking park and lots of green space. Beautiful
🏴 Flag as inappropriateFun little museum great for kids and railway lovers.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI wish it were bigger and had more info about the history of the place. Great old engine that is sitting there but not much else to discover. I believe the old Grand Trunk Line was not far from this site.
