Construction Underway on Northlander’s Timmins-Porcupine Station

July 14, 2025

• Our government is getting shovels in the ground on the northern terminal station, delivering on our promise to bring back the Northlander and better connect northern communities to essential services, including health care and education.
• The Timmins-Porcupine Station will also help to unlock economic growth in the North by supporting northern industries, the resource sector and tourism, keeping thousands of people on the job in the face of tariffs and economic uncertainty.
• Work is also underway along the Northlander track to adjust curves to ensure the train runs at higher speeds and with fewer disruptions.
• Once reinstated, the Northlander will provide southbound service leaving from Timmins and northbound service leaving from Toronto, up to seven days a week, with 16 stops, including a rail connection to Cochrane.
• Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is making historic investments to improve access to reliable and affordable transportation, connecting communities, protecting jobs and building a stronger more resilient Ontario.
