WATERLOO, Ont. — The early arrival of Easter is getting the Waterloo Central Railway off to an early start in
2016.
The
2016 Easter Bunny Train will run three return trips between the St.
Jacob’s Market and Elmira on Saturday, March 26 to kick off the popular
attraction’s 2016 season. The Easter
train will be followed by the ninth annual Elmira Maple Sugar Festival
train on Saturday, April 2. Regular service for this year will resume
May 7.
“The
Waterloo Central Railway is an iconic feature in a historic village,”
says Minto Schneider, Chief Executive Officer of Waterloo Tourism. “Sit
back and relax, enjoy the idyllic
countryside and allow yourself to be transported back to a more simple
time.”
Mr.
Bunny will be the featured guest on the Easter train, visiting children
at their seats while train travels from the St. Jacobs Market to the
Village, and will continue visiting
with some passengers as the train continues from the Village north to
Elmira. The train will run three return trips between the Market and
Elmira.
On
April 2, a diesel-hauled Waterloo Central Railway locomotive will be
making three trips towards maple syrup drenched pancakes, apple fritters
and sugar bush rides.

True train enthusiasts can make a full day of it by also visiting the
St. Jacobs and Aberfoyle Model Railway,
an O scale model with 2,400 feet of track running through an impressive
recreation of Southern Ontario in the 1950s.
Keep your eyes peeled for
some of the unique and funny
features in the model, like the man escaping the hotel without paying
his bill, and the clever names on some of the businesses, such as the
Johann Sebastien Box Co. The model railway will be open April 2nd, 3rd
and 30th, May 1st and then every Saturday and Sunday until December.
