Northlander

The Northlander is a passenger train operated by the provincially owned Ontario Northland Railway in southern and northeastern Ontario, Canada. Service was discontinued in 2012, however the Northlander is scheduled to resume service in late 2026 with an expanded route, modern trainsets, and upgrades to railway infrastructure and stations. The restored service is planned to operate between four and seven days per week between Toronto Union Station and Timmins, with continuing service to Cochrane where passengers will be able to connect with Ontario Northland's Polar Bear Express service. The service operated on Ontario Northland tracks between Cochrane and North Bay, and on CN tracks between North Bay and Toronto. Before its discontinuation in 2012, the Northlander operated six days per week year-round between Toronto and Cochrane. Trains typically consisted of a locomotive, an auxiliary power unit, two passenger coaches, and a cafeteria lounge car.
