    2014 Season kicks off with the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival

    Our first diesel-hauled trains of the season will be our annual excursion to the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival on Saturday, April 5, 2014.

    Our next special event will be the popular Easter Bunny Trains on Saturday, April 19, 2014.  This will kick off our regular season and see the return of our Market Train schedule with slightly different times than in previous years.  The trains will still stop at the Farmer’s Market and the Village of St. Jacobs before returning to Waterloo.  Please check our schedule page for additional details and times.

    All our regularly scheduled passenger trains and charters are powered by one of our diesel locomotives unless otherwise specified.

    About the Waterloo Central Railway

    We are an entirely volunteer-run and passenger-supported heritage railway based in Waterloo, Ontario. We travel between the City of Waterloo, the St. Jacobs Farmers Market and the Village of St. Jacobs with trackage rights further to the Town of Elmira for charters and special events.

    The Waterloo Central Railway is wholly owned and operated by the Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society (SOLRS) which is a not-for-profit registered charity dedicated to the preservation and operation of historical railway equipment.  SOLRS operates a complete railway restoration and shop facility in the Village of St. Jacobs, Ontario.
