Welcome to the Railway City

Culture + Heritage + Industrial Grit + Authenticity

Sometimes, you have to take the road less travelled before the real journey begins. In St. Thomas we are a small city in between big places. We are not Toronto or Niagara Falls. What we are is authentic. Our heritage laces everything we do. Our industrious spirit moves us forward. We are colourful, our stories are real, but most of all we are friendly as heck. Stay awhile and journey with us through the farmland and forests of Ontario's Southwest to the historic and vibrant Railway City.

Why Not #ExploreRailwayCity?
