Thomas Blampied is a TRHA volunteer, an historian, an avid railfan, an excellent photographer and a author of a number of books on the local railway scene in our area.

After more than two years of work, his book about the Ontario Northland – “Call of the Northland – is now published and available. It charts the history of the ONR, with particular emphasis on the divestment mess of the past few years. The narrative is woven through a journey that he took aboard the Northlander in 2012 and also features a selection of photographs from the trip.

Below are a number of images from the book courtesy of the author.

All the information (including details for ordering) can be found at www.northland-book.net.  The book is also available for sale at our Toronto Railway Museum.
