Railway History in Canada

25K views · 67 reactions | The transcontinental railway was a game-changer for Canada in the 19th century, making long-distance travel accessible like never before. For the first time in history, hundreds of kilometres could be covered in a day's trip.  In 2023, our rail networks moved more than 325.6 million tonnes of freight and carried 4.1 million passengers annually. | Transport Canada | Facebook

Did you ever wonder how some speeders are turned around on a railroad? Many speeders today have built in turntables as seen here in this video of a crew turning their car in our Niles yard earlier this year. Originally, many smaller cars were just turned using handles built into the car and pure human strength. Our speeder rides for this weekend are sold out, but we have plenty of tickets for our August train rides for those looking to ride soon. https://www.ncry.org/ride/2023-train-rides/ | Nil
