Algoma Train



The Algoma Central Railway is a 500km rail line that runs north from Sault Ste Marie, Ontario to Hearst, Ontario. Construction started in 1899, with its' main purpose to bring materials to the many industries of The Soo. As time progressed the Railway was used as a form of transport for The Group of Seven Artists - enabling them to capture the Canadian environment, plus a way of arriving at the many summer cottages now bordering the train line.
