Cobourg's Railway Story
Until October 10, 2016 (10:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
The story of the Cobourg & Peterborough Railway has become part of the legend of our Town. The failure of the Railway's 2.6 mile bridge over Rice Lake determined our future for decades and its effects are still felt.
The story is presented by means of a 250 ft. 1/20 scale operating model railway which runs the length of our property. Trains run daily, weather permitting.
