A NETWORK OF
TRANSPORTATION
DRIVING
Conveniently located along the Trans-Canadian Highway 11, Cochrane is serviced by a network of air, rail, and road systems, connecting the town to major centers such as Timmins, Sudbury, and Toronto.
ACTIVE
In recent years, the town has been working towards planning around people not cars. Cycling has become an important mode of transportation for residents and the town continuously maintains bike lanes & hosts the free bike share program during the spring and summer.
Municipal Airport
The Cochrane Airport has a runway of 4,500 feet and serves as a vital hub linking passengers and freight to the James Bay Coastline. Home to two recently built hangars and warehouse, each measuring between 5,040 to 7,000 square feet, sites for aero development and storage are readily available.
From private and executive charters coming and going, air cargo flights scheduled weekly, medivac services, lower fuel rates, and stationed aircraft maintenance engineers, the Cochrane Airport is always bustling with activity.

Railway Station
Operated by Ontario Northland, the Cochrane Railway Station is the southernmost stop for the Polar Bear Express and the last road accessible junction for the rail line before it heads further north towards the James Bay Coast. It also represents a key hub for freight and cargo shipping by rail, for industry stakeholders in the community. Working in partnership with the Economic Development department, the ONR has been able to accommodate various industrial sectors, including forestry and mining, with possibilities of also catering to the agricultural sector.
The Railway Station also supports Cochrane’s tourism industry and is the southernmost stop for the Polar Bear Express, which operates five days a week and connects the community with Moosonee. In 2017, ONR will unveil a unique refurbishment project, set to enhance the transportation experience for tourists and residents of the James Bay Coast.
