Comment

A souvenir coin given to passengers on the inaugural trip of the Northlander May 28, 1977.

The Northlander was a passenger train operated by the provincially-owned Ontario Northland Railway in southwest and northeast Ontario, Canada. In 2012, rail service was discontinued and replaced with express bus service.
