South Simcoe Railway

It was enjoyable for a family outing, though it did feel a little short. Staff were all very pleasant and the gentleman narrating the sights & history was charming. Parking can be found around the front gate but if it's busy it might get tricky.

My husband and I came here on the first weekend they reopened, and it was a really fun trip! The conductor shared some really fun facts about the history of Ontario's rail systems and kept us engaged throughout the short ride to Beeton. The train itself is an authentic 1920s train and it was so neat to see the original interior of the train.

HUGE kudos to the volunteers who run this station to keep the heritage alive!

Credits to the volunteers who made the train ride possible, and especially to the Conductor for giving us the history of the train, tracks, and what it was like to live in the area during the operation of the train service. Tourist tip for those people planning for this ride, is to get seats on the east/right side of the train for better views. The ride up to Beeton was enjoyable, but there are better places to see the fall colours during this time.

Would be a good historic visit.
