Ontario Northland Railway's iconic Polar Bear Express sits at Moosonee waiting to head south to Cochrane. This operation boasts the distinction of being Ontario's only mixed train and one of few remaining in Canada. Although the Northlander trains have made their final runs as part of the ONTC divestment process, it has remained clear that the Polar Bear will continue to operate year round. Until such time as a road is built, this essential service will continue to function as the lifeline Moosonee and points north.
