IIRC, this train (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.portageflyer.org">http://www.portageflyer.org</a><!-- m -->) used to transport people between two lakes in northern Ontario during the first half of the 20th century.

Sure. I remember reading about it in either Trains Magazine or Classic Trains Magazine, which had a nice little article on the Portage flyer a few years ago - even showed the complete track plan for the whole railroad, and discussed the interaction between the steam boats on Peninsula Lake, the Portage Flyer and the steam boats on Lake of the Bays.
