Englehart station is a railway station in Englehart, Ontario, Canada. It served as a stop for Northlander trains operated by Ontario Northland until passenger service was discontinued in 2012. In 2021, the Government of Ontario announced plans to restore passenger rail service through Englehart, with Ontario Northland service extending north to either Timmins or Cochrane by the mid-2020s.[2]

The current two-storey station replaced an earlier station building. Englehart was the midpoint of the Ontario Northland Railway and served as a crew change point. The station also houses signalling operations for the northern portion of the line.[citation needed]

Ontario Northland maintains a rescue locomotive at Englehart for use in responding to stranded trains. Similar locomotives are also based in Cochrane and North Bay. The yard at Englehart includes 11 storage tracks and a machine shop for locomotive and rolling stock repairs.[citation needed]
