About the Waterloo Central Railway


Waterloo Central Railway is a heritage railway offering historic passenger train rides on the Waterloo Spur between Northfield Drive in Waterloo, the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, the village of St. Jacobs and town of Elmira. We are proudly operated by the Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society (SOLRS), a not-for-profit, registered charitable organization. All ticket proceeds go to supporting operations and restoration programs that our volunteers complete at our Restoration and Maintenance Facility in St. Jacobs.

Rich in History

SINCE THE LATE 1800S

The Waterloo Spur has a fascinating history dating from the construction of the Waterloo Junction Railway in 1889 to the present.
