Big Chute marine railway

This is the only operating marine railway in Canada / North America. It connects Georgian Bay of Lake Huron to the Trent-Severn waterway canal system. It was opened in 1917 but the current system was revamped in 1978.

Great story and photos of an innovative engineering solution. I was not aware of the marine railway, so read up on it on Wikipedia. Thanks for posting.

Definitely worth a side trip if you’re in the Muskoka area. Lots of fun to shoot as a timelapse!
