8 d. ago Ride a vintage train through fall colours at this lakeside railway in Ontario

With Ontario's fall colours soon to reach their peak in the province, now's the time to plan a road trip to get out and take in those views, and the Port Stanley Terminal Rail is a great way to experience the vibrant seasonal hues and take in a bit of history in the process.This heritage railway offers Scenic Train Rides that take you on a vintage locomotive through the lakeside village of Port Stanley. The 60-minute trip wraps up at Whytes Park, where you can hop off, stretch your legs, snap photos with the old-school circus car, and take in the fall foliage that surrounds the park.If you're looking for something a little more festive, the Pumpkin Patch Train Ride is a seasonal offering, too. It takes you out to a pumpkin patch at Whytes Park, where you can even pick out a pumpkin to bring home.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Railway City Tourism (@railwaycity...
