Waterloo Central Railway, St. Jacobs, ON

Your trip begins with the anticipation of riding in a living piece of history. Our equipment was either built in 1923 or in 1950. If you want to experience train travel like a 1920s immigrant, then coach 1437 “Midway” is for you; if you want to see how a vacationer in the 1950s might have traveled, then either coach 5504 or 3216 are for you.

Most passengers will begin their journey at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market, an iconic farmers and flea market which has become a fixture and destination for tourists, foodies and bargain hunters from around the world. If you arrive early, you have the opportunity to tour the Market and maybe even get something for breakfast before boarding your train. If you arrive before the train does, you’ll experience the thrill that train travelers have as the train arrives at the station after having blown its whistle at the crossing.
