Project:1867 - Grand Trunk
The largest Pre-Confederation Railroad to survive into the 20th Century. Chartered in 1852 to build a rail link between Toronto and Montreal took a different approach and would be the third rail operator to begin operations in 1854. They would begin to expand before their main line would be completed, extending out past Montreal in 1853 to Vermont and out to Sarnia in 1856. It proved to be the main competitor to Great Western. It also purchased the small Buffalo & Lake Huron Railroad in 1856 with it's line running between Fort Erie and Goderich granting access to the Second Welland Canal in addition to both the Buffalo and Chicago markets. It would go on to buy out both Great Western (1882) and Northern Railway Company of Canada (1888). However it would fall and be purchased by Canadian National in 1923. The Napanee VIA station is the perfect example of a typical limestone GT station built in 1856.
