Traveling the abandoned railways of Ontario

Hey everyone. I am not exactly a railroad enthusiast. But here is my article.

Thanks for posting! I live in Ontario and will be exploring some of these areas with my kids when it gets warmer.

Abandoned RR routes are part of my interest in this hobby of railfaning.

Those are nice photos of the remaining parts of a once active R of W.  Thanks for sharing.

And welcome to the forum.

Just yesterday I received several photos of an abandoned stone / brick arch bridge of a long ago abandoned RR back in my home area of Pennsylvania.  I had not been to the site in perhaps 50 years.   The masonary appeared to be in very good condition after at least 50 years of non use and no maintenance.
