Early autumn foliage graces the rolling hills on a tranquil September morning at Island Lake, Ont., as Watco's Agawa Canyon Tour Train presses north towards Canyon on the former Algoma Central Railway.

Emerging from the Canyon under spectacular autumn skies, a trio of EMD F40PHR locomotives hustle Watco's sold-out Agawa Canyon Tour Train over the Mile 112 trestle on the "new ACR". In February 2022, Watco purchased the old Algoma Central line from Canadian National, tastefully naming it the Agawa Canyon Railroad and resuming tour train operations for the world to enjoy. On this day, 846 passengers from around the globe were able to take in the autumnal splendour of Agawa Canyon; the crown jewel of Algoma Country.

Those familiar with Algoma lore might recall a time when people referred to the then Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Company as the "All Curves and High Bridges Railway". While the name eventually changed, the section of track between Hubert and Montreal Falls certainly held true to this claim. Just south of Hubert at Mile 94.3, a 13 1/2 degree curve exhibits this true as Watco's Agawa Canyon Tour Train negotiates the tight confines of the rocky landscape. Having woven through the tightest curve on the railway, the 846 passengers aboard this sold-out train, will soon be afforded a spectacular view of the Montreal River as they traverse the iconic 1,550 foot trestle that lies less than two miles ahead.
