St. Thomas

St. Thomas straddles Kettle Creek in southwestern Ontario, a setting that helped establish it as an important railway junction. Known as Canada’s Railway City, it developed around lines that connected the province with the United States and other Canadian centres. The Elgin County Railway Museum occupies former Michigan Central Railroad locomotive repair shops, preserving this industrial legacy. St. Thomas is also associated with Jumbo, the celebrated circus elephant killed by a train here in 1885 and commemorated in the city.
