The South Simcoe Railway's Fall Colour Excursions, a fall tradition for many in Ontario, return this month, and the historic railway is set to take passengers aboard scenic fall-colours train rides from Tottenham to Beeton for another season.Each round trip, from Tottenham to Beeton and back, lasts just under an hour, and along the way, the conductor shares tidbits of Canada's rich railway history. The fall foliage makes a pretty backdrop for this autumn outing as train riders get to see the changing colours of the leaves throughout the journey aboard a vintage 1920s locomotive.Passengers will usually board Engine #136 to take the trip from Tottenham to Beeton, winding through the Beeton Valley Creek and immersing in all the fall colours and foliage. Given how popular this nature tour gets — the leaves' changing colours at the Beeton Valley Creek are at their best during autumn — it's highly recommend...

Buck Martinez seemed a bit on edge while calling the Toronto Blue Jays game on Wednesday, one which they won in extra innings by a 4-3 final.Martinez's issue wasn't with the Blue Jays, nor their opponent, the Houston Astros. Instead, he took a swipe at the New York Yankees, who, at the same time, were trailing big to the Detroit Tigers in a game they wound up losing 12-2.Despite the Yankees being only three games back of the Blue Jays for the top spot in the AL East with an 80-64 record, Martinez made it clear that he doesn't think the Yankees are all that."You know, the Yankees, they're not a good team," Martinez said. "I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches, they make a lot of mistakes in the field, they don't run the bases very well. If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance to win."Blue Jays broadcast going scorched earth on the Yankees after finding out they were losing big pic.twitter.c...
