Polar Bear Express passenger train service

We are monitoring a forest fire south of Moosonee for potential impacts to train service.

At this time, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is providing daily clearance to operate train service. Ontario Northland will continue to connect with fire authorities for clearance each day.

Passengers can reach out to passengercare@ontarionorthland.ca or call us at 1-800-461-8558 for information or assistance with rescheduling or refunding tickets (no fees apply).

Safety is our top priority. Please continue to monitor our website for timely updates.
