The Oldest Canadian Railway Tunnel

It's been a long time since I've done a video blog, and so for the end of April, I thought I'd introduce you to one of the most iconic tourist attractions in my neck of the woods.

I'm a bit late in posting this as when I did the walkthrough, it was Monday, April 23. But due to what happened in Toronto, Ontario that afternoon, I decided to hold off on it until some time had passed.

I said that I wanted to do more of these video blogs where I take tours of various attractions in my area, and I couldn't think of a better place to start than our railway tunnel.

Of course, the tunnel is no longer operational to trains...it hasn't been for several decades. But when the tunnel first opened in 1860, it predated Canada by seven whole years! It lay dormant for years, but was re-opened to the public on August 12, 2017 - a month after Canada's 150th anniversary.

Now, I'll start with the video of my tour of Canada's oldest railway tunnel, and then I'll post some photos that I took on my way back through. Hope you enjoy the tour...and try not to make fun of my voice or camera skills too much. When you're filming with an iPod, it tends to get a bit shaky!

Enjoy!
