Experience Living History Take in a scenic journey through the Beeton Creek Valley, in classic 1920s passenger coaches pulled by one of our historic locomotives. Enjoy the Conductor's friendly and informative commentary highlighting the history of the line, the train, and how the railways shaped our country. The round trip from Tottenham to Beeton and back takes just under an hour. Excursions depart from the South Simcoe Railway station in downtown Tottenham, 20km west of Highway 400 on Highway 9, just 50 minutes north of Toronto. Across the road is a conservation park with swimming, camping and picnicing, and friendly local shops and restaurants are just a block away.
