An interesting lesson about Ontario’s history! I believe he said that theirs is the last known dental car to exist. Most of the communities it went to did not have road access so the train would move from station to station fixing teeth then continuing on. Our first stop was a tour through an old dining car which before being de serviced had been formatted into a dental car that serviced northern Ontario. We had to leave early the next morning so John offered to take us for a tour before the sun set and we were excited to accept. After that John showed us where the kitchen and washrooms for our use were. Our was a circa 1941 built during the war and made completely of plywood! The beds were surprisingly comfy and the climate was comfortable. Two of the three Cabooses they rent out were booked that evening. He was very welcoming and a wealth of knowledge! Our walking talking railway history book, John had been a railway man his whole life and we welcomed everything he shared with us.įirst things first, John showed us to our Caboose, our nights accommodation, so we could put our bags down.
Soon after our arrival we found John, our volunteer host for the evening. We got to the museum around 8:30 pm on Friday. The Caboose overnight stay experience at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario actually takes place after the museum closes each day! They book the extremely unique and VERY reasonably priced adventure through Airbnb and it far exceeded anything we had expected!
