The Schomberg-Aurora Railway operated for 25 years, from 1902 to 1927, and ran along a 14-mile track between the village of Schomberg and the village of Oak Ridges, where it met the main railway track, running north to Aurora or south to Richmond Hill. The house behind the trains cars (pictured above) was located on the modern-day, north-west corner of Main Street and Dr. Kay Drive. The road bed of Dr. Kay Drive sits atop the former railway track bed of a 100+ years ago. The picture below, taken a few days ago, shows the same century-old house that once served as a make-shift train station.
