The Trillium Railway is a Canadian short-line railroad operating in the province of Ontario.
Trillium Railway began operations in 1997 with only eleven kilometres railway, all of which in Port Colborne.
With an expansion in 1998, Trillium added 55 kilometres of track between Delhi and St. Thomas. Another expansion in 1999 added another 55 kilometres of track in Welland, Thorold and St. Catharines.
In the Niagara Region, Trillium's trackage, referred to as Port Colborne Harbour Railway, is made up of Canadian National's former secondary and branch lines, including a number of urban spurs, as well as one of the tracks through the Townline Tunnel under the Welland Canal. A Trillium line in Welland crosses Highway 406, forming the only at-grade rail crossing on a 400-Series Highway.
The St. Thomas & Eastern Railway operates on a former CN Cayuga Spur. It reaches the city of St. Thomas by trackage rights over CN's tracks.
