The Polar Bear Express is the passenger train from Cochrane to Moosonee, a roughly five-hour run through northern forest and muskeg to a community near James Bay. For travellers, it is the classic Cochrane excursion: slow, practical, and very different from another day on the highway.
The train is not just a tourist ride. It is a working transport link for people travelling between Cochrane, Moosonee, Moose Factory, and communities without regular road access. Check the current timetable before building a trip around it.
