​Sun’s (kind of??) out, fun’s out, St. Thomas! 

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!

Lasting roughly 1 minute and 19 seconds, unfortunately the duration of the total eclipse and its night-like conditions won’t be quite enough to catch up on your beauty rest, but personally, I don’t think this celestial spectacle is something that you’ll want to sleep through!

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!

As we approach 2023, wait… 2024? Already? Wow! Anyways… 2023 is soon to be in the rearview mirror, and I think it's safe to say that it has been quite the year for the Railway City!

From the Talbot Street reconstruction in early March to arguably the most eventful holiday season yet, we’ll be reflecting back on some of our personal highlights from the last 12 months.

So without further ado, we at Railway City Tourism invite you to hop in the DeLorean, buckle up, and join us on a trip back through time as we revisit the last year!
