The last railway construction takes place to define operating patterns for our study

In Part 04 of our Gravenhurst series, we cover

construction of the Ontario Government’s Temiskaming & Northern Ontario railway from North Bay to Englehart between 1902 and 1906
the OA&PS Railway coming into the GTR fold in 1905
construction and opening of the Canadian Northern Railway line between Toronto and Capreol over the time-span 1906 to 1908
the CPR mainline between Toronto and Sudbury opening in 1908

In Part 03 of our Gravenhurst series, we cover

railway construction and operational developments from 1875 to 1898

In Part 02, we classify the trains which pass through Gravenhurst in 1938

In Part 01, we introduce the scope of the series

Now, we pick up the story just after the Canadian Northern mainline has reached Capreol in 1908

What’s the T&NO up to, meanwhile?

The indomitable Ontario Government railway reaches Cochrane by the end of 1908 (before the NTR, no less). The first train travels the route on December 28.
