A free walk led by Lance Gleich, Heritage York
6:15 pm | porch of Lambton House, 4066 Old Dundas Street
The history of highway trailers riding on railway flat cars dates back to at least 1952 in Canada. Today, there’s just one train left providing such a service in Canada, Canadian Pacific’s “eXpressway” between Milton, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec. That service is ending, and today we’ll watch the final “eXpressway” train to go through Toronto in daylight pass. After the train goes by, we’ll return to the Lambton House where you are welcome to enjoy Heritage York’s Pub Night. We’ll tailor the walk to who is in attendance, but if dominated by photographers, the best spot in the area to photograph the train is off normal trails.
