Algoma Central Railway

The Algoma Central is by far the most famous railroad in Northern Ontario. One of the last railroads in North America that offers flag stops, its tracks span from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst through some of the most rugged landscape in the world. Internationally renowned for its spectacular scenery and famous Agawa Canyon, this journey from the Sault to our pick up point in the old ghost town of Goudreau is sure to impress even the most seasoned train enthusiast.

Your journey begins in Sault Ste. Marie at the Algoma Central train depot in front of Station Mall. From there you will board the ACR's passenger rail service and head north. Some 5 hours later, you will arrive in the old ghost town of Goudreau where we will be waiting. At this point, your journey is only just beginning! After departing Goudreau on our shuttle bus, we will traverse 15 miles of unmarked gravel and "two-track" roads, past working and abandoned gold mines, through the Manitou Mountain Conservation Reserve, cross the Canadian Pacific Railway into the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve, and finally stop at Camp Lochalsh. Along the way, you are likely to see a Moose, Black Bear, or Timber Wolf!

The other popular way to reach our lodges is by taking the Candian Pacific Railway from either White River or Missanabie to the Lochalsh stop. Located just 1/4 mile from Camp Lochalsh, the old ghost town of Lochalsh is serviced by a CRP "Budd" car every day except Monday.

One of the last CPR passenger rail services left in Canada, the White River/Sudbury run is considered a "lifeline" for many remote communties in the north. During the summer months, this line is utilized by fishermen and hunters as well as locals in remote communities.
