Cochrane railway station is located in the town of Cochrane in Ontario.
It is the northernmost station stop for Northlander trains of Ontario Northland and southernmost stop for Polar Bear Express trains.
In March 2012, the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission announced plans to discontinue the Northlander train service between Cochrane and Toronto, and replace it with a bus service. No date for this change has yet been announced.
The Ontario government has stated, however, that it intends to preserve the Polar Bear Express train service between Cochrane and Moosonee as an "essential service".
Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
