"Head North" the sign says for Highway 406, but we're in the Niagara region and this train is far from home. It was 10 years today the "last" Northlander rolled out of Cochrane for Toronto and back. Due to a film shoot this train ended up spending a week in Niagara and gave some of us a really interesting opportunity to place the Ontario Northland in some unique places. Might not be the last time either, as the Handsmaid Tale has signed on for a final season, perhaps they'll need this train again? :)

Caption: "Head North" as the sign says for Highway 406, but we're in the Niagara region and this train is far from home. I enjoy how the train was repainted in the new Polar Bear Express livery, with "serving the north" in English and Inuktitut (The primary language of the people of Moosonee and the Arctic Circle).
