O-Train Fans is a railfan operated enthusiast website and Youtube Channel, with the aim of showcasing the Light Rail Transit network operated in Ottawa, Ontario. The LRT network is both modern and state of the art, in both its execution and design, enabling commuters to travel the city with ease, while lowering the environmental footprint and saving time and money. The O-Train Fans website was born out of a desire to highlight this unique transit network, one that rivals those of other Canadian cities such as Montreal and Toronto. The arrival of the LRT is a significant milestone in the history of Ottawa, and recognizing this fact we felt it was important to showcase the LRT network, so that other interested people can learn more about what makes it special and unique. O-Train Fans aims to highlight all the unique features of the Light Rail system, from its stations, to the rolling stock and more. Thank you and enjoy the ride!
