I'm just back from riding the Agawa Canyon Tour Train: 183 km north from Sault Ste. Marie on the old Algoma Central line, into one of the most magical places in Canada. Peak leaf-peeping season, with the maples blazing red and the birches brilliant yellow. 🚂🧵

Over a century ago, Group of Seven artists bunked in a railcar on Algoma Central sidings. The northern #Ontario landscapes they painted here still shape what we think of as a distinctly Canadian wilderness.

The only way into the canyon is by rail, and the train runs just a few months a year. Photos, videos and first impressions from the ride, made possible by new High Speed subscribers (thank you!): www.highspeed.blog/an-autumn-ri...
