Celebrating 25 Years Online! 2000-2025

Climb on up and lets embark on a journey through the beautiful wilderness of the North, captured through the many camera lenses of Mike Robin. Join us as we witness first hand, the day to day operations of the North's legendary Ontario Northland Railway. Ready to go? Well, put on your bug spray because we're heading North!
I look forward to hearing from you.
There are so many stories and information that gets tossed my way while I'm out capturing images. Here's your chance to read what I've experienced and learned over the last 20 years or so!
