Yet another day, this April 8th, that illustrious ball of gas you all know and love rises to shine down upon the always radiant Railway City - but this time is like no other. In fact, this event is so rare that the next time we’ll get the chance to see it happen here in Southwestern Ontario will be 2144 - in 120 years! By then, the city of St. Thomas will be close to marking its 350th anniversary! 

My apologies for keeping you in the dark for so long (haha! Get it?), but as I’m sure you’ve already guessed, we’re talking about none other than the upcoming total solar eclipse!

With only a couple weeks to go, the countdown is on and, never fear, Railway City Tourism is here to help you and your family to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
