Introducing the Northlander’s New Exterior Design
Ontario Northland is proud to present the exterior design of the future Northlander train. This design was shaped by feedback from community members who participated in the 'Community Connection' events that were held across 13 communities along the corridor in fall 2023.
Feedback from the events highlighted that that the Northlander should be recognized as:
- Proudly rooted in our northern heritage
- Deeply connected to the people and communities it serves
- Welcoming to all
- Transformative for northeastern Ontario
- Safe, particularly during the winter months
- Reliable, ensuring passengers are well cared for from start to finish
- Accessible, both in terms of affordability and physical accessibility
- Comfortable, providing a stress-free and enjoyable ride
- Modern, with brand-new equipment
“The Northlander’s new exterior design brings a fresh look to this service. This design captures the essence of our brand – connecting people across Ontario in a way that’s safe, accessible and comfortable,” says Rebecca McGlynn, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. “We are excited for the new era of the Northlander to deliver a transportation option that enhances how people move to, from, and across the province.”
The new design prominently features the Ontario Northland logo, a familiar icon representing our longstanding service. It also introduces the newly created Northlander icon, that will be associated with this new train service like the popular goose icon for the Polar Bear Express.
We are thrilled to share this new design with you and we look forward to continued progress.
