Ontario unveils first Siemens-built Northlander trainset as Toronto-to-Muskoka rail return nears
Ontario unveiled the first of three Siemens-built Northlander trainsets for the Toronto–Timmins passenger rail service, halted since 2012. The draft schedule shows an overnight run with 16 stops, including Muskoka towns. A business case projects up to 60,000 annual trips but says the service will need subsidies. The province spent C$139.5 million on the new trains.
