“Getting Back on Track: The Changing Role of Passenger Rail in Southern Ontario” is a digital exhibition project created by four Master of Museum Studies students at the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with the Toronto Railway Museum.

This interactive exhibition will share stories of railway passengers across Southern Ontario. Virtual visitors of all ages will explore the fluctuating growth of Ontario’s railways and how they’re likely to evolve in the future.

Through this survey we hope to hear diverse passenger perspectives on this changing role – that’s where you come in! We would like to hear about your stories relating to passenger rail in Southern Ontario, focusing on the 1970s – present day.

Unless otherwise indicated, please disregard any impact from the COVID-19 pandemic when considering your ridership habits.

Note: For the purposes of this exhibition, “passenger rail” includes commuter and intercity rail (GO Transit, VIA Rail, etc.). There is no affiliation between this project and Metrolinx, VIA Rail, or any other public or private railway entities. No survey responses or contact information will be shared with any external parties.
