The Trillium Railway reporting mark|TRRY is a Canadian short-line railroad operating in the province of Ontario. Much of its right-of-way in the Niagara area was formerly part of the "Welland Canal Railway" (AKA Welland Railway) that followed closely, the route of the second Welland Canal.

Trillium Railway began operations in 1997 with only eleven kilometres of railway, all of which were located 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 reporting mark|PCHR, 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 reporting mark|STER operates on a former CN Cayuga Spur. It reaches the city of St. Thomas by trackage rights over CN's tracks.
