Ghost Railways of Ontario
Ghost Railways of Ontario by Ron Brown.
This evocative volume explores the forgotten rail lines that once crisscrossed Ontario, now vanished or repurposed but still echoing with history. Brown, a noted geographer and storyteller, takes readers on a journey through abandoned stations, overgrown tracks, and derelict bridges, weaving in tales of the communities they once served and the economic forces that led to their decline.
With 223 pages of maps, photographs, and local lore, it’s a nostalgic and richly detailed tribute to a bygone era of Canadian transportation. Perfect for railway buffs, local historians, or anyone curious about the hidden past beneath Ontario’s modern landscape.
