Welcome to the station...the town of Forest

Step off the train and into history! In this episode, we explore Forest, Ontario – a small town with a big railway story. From its beginnings as dense woodland to a bustling hub shaped by the Grand Trunk Railway in the mid-1800s, Forest’s journey is one of transformation, community, and heritage. Discover how steam engines sparked economic growth, fuelled industries like basket-making and canning, and connected this Lambton County town to the world. Hear stories from locals who remember riding the rails, visit the replica station (now a library), and see how the railway’s legacy lives on in Forest’s architecture, parks, and festivals. Highlights in this episode: The origins of Forest and the Grand Trunk Railway The rise, fall, and rebirth of the Forest station Local industries powered by the railway The Forest Museum and preserved heritage Modern charm: shops, parks, and the annual Steam Thresher Festival Whether you’re a history buff, a railway enthusiast, or just love small-town charm, Forest is a stop worth making.
