Ontario Northland Railway (ONR) to Moosonee in Canada

[mikekole]

I actually rode the Cochrane-Moosonee leg in Oct '97 with a friend. Not the same trip, as it was overcast almost the entire way to Moosonee. Still, very beautiful. Saw the Northern Lights on Moose Factory. Got a huge kick out of the old ONR cars stored near Moosonee, where someone drew a skull & crossbones on an old kitchen car.

Thanks for posting! Sparked some great memories!

Hi there, Just wondering at the end of your video you said u were off to the minning town of Timmins, The train dosn't go through timmins anymore. Did they put u guys on a bus?

"Freighter canoe." That's an awfully quaint way of referring to Moosonee/Moose Factory's beloved "boat taxi."

I used to live in Moosonee, M Factory, and Timmins. Good times, I would suppose.

Cochrane- now entering moose country LOL Lady you were in moose country before you got to North Bay lol. Great video, is this from a dvd?

[nickblewitt]

Thanks for your comments. No, it's not from a DVD. All shot on old Hi8 tape.

[Paul2981]

Great video from in and out of both the Northlander and the Little Bear mixed but the date is clearly not 1977 (e.g. ex GO transit cars in consist).

[nickblewitt]

Thanks. A typo, it is 1997.
