The Northlander was a Canadian passenger train operated by the Ontario Northland Railway in Ontario.

In March 2012, the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission announced plans to discontinue the Northlander and replace it with bus service.[1] The final train ran on September 28, 2012.[2]

The Northlander operated 6 days per week year-round in both directions and connected Cochrane with Toronto. The train typically consisted of one engine, an auxiliary power unit, two coaches and a cafeteria lounge car.

The Northlander ran on ONR tracks from Cochrane to North Bay and on CN tracks south of North Bay to Toronto.

The Northlander made scheduled stops at the following stations:
