The full directory, province by province — checked against official sources.
The complete directory: 42 operating listings across Canada, every one checked against its operator's official source. Train operations, small museum rides and rail-adjacent rides are all here — and each card is labelled so you always know which you're looking at. 1 further operation is currently paused — listed for the record, labelled Paused, and not counted here.
Looking for something specific? The Ride Finder filters every listing on this page by province, type and month.
Steam locomotives, historic streetcars and volunteer-run lines are the heart of this directory. Every heritage listing was checked against its operator's official source — and the famous names that have closed in recent years are simply not here, however many older websites still recommend them.
