Canadian Rail No157 1964 CaI"1adiaI"1 J ffi~iin Number 157 / July-August 1964 Canadian Rail Page 159 Now That We are Nearly Three ••••• -- S. Worthen In passing, and with due regard to the time-honoured Shakesperian cliche about "What's in a Name?", it should be noted that the recent introspec­ tive deliberations of the Committee on "B & B" may be said to have had an LJ. effect on our own Association. Now that the Museum is nearly three years old, it has been qe­ cided to establish• in both official languages of Canada, the proper corporate name of our Museum. While the Museum at Delson, Q,uebec has been graced with several "official" titles during its infancy, now that it is growing up, the following official title has been designated as being THE one: Canadian Railway Museum - Musee Ferroviare Canadien. The device which is shown above is the official symbol of the Canadian Railway Illuseum - Musee Ferroviare Canadien, and will ap­ pear on all communications media, as well as on signs, displays and other public notices at the Museum and elsewhere. Members are urged to refer to the Museum by its proper title, so as to avoid confusion in the minds of the public. We hope that our new symbol will become as Vlell-known as other modern corporate symbols, which ar.e a familiar sight fro21 coast to coast. ]nformation, plea~e! The upper photo on the opposite page was submitted to us for publication by Mr. Hyman Mandel. Details concerning the picture are lacking -- perhaps some member can help. The lower photo, showing Edmonton Radial Railway's Observation Car, was taken by Mr. Eric Smith and sent to us by Mr. E.W.Johnson, of Edmonton. Where and when did this tram see service, who built it, and when? We are looking for data concerning this interesting vehicle. S~nbol of the renaissance of Canadian railway passenger service is the Dining Car. Not so long ago considered a "drug on the market". dining cars are experiencing a tremendous upsurge in popularity and epitomize the relaxed luxury of rail travel. (C.N.R. photo) The Canada & Gulf Terminal Railway. Fred Angus he Lower St. Lawrence Region of the Province of Quebec was first served by a railway line in 1860, when the Grand Trunk Railway completed its line from Montreal to Riviere du Loup. For many years there had been discussion of a rail connection wi th the Mari­ time Provinces, and, eventually, in 1876, the Intercolonial Rail­ Tway was completed, and the Eastern provinces directly connected with the rest of Canada. However, the I.C.R. route between Levis and New Brunswick turned inland near what is now Mont Joli, and headed in a south­ erly direction through the Matapedia Valley, eventually connecting with the existing Mari time systems near Moncton. Thus the Gaspe region was not served by any track. The first concrete step towards building a line to Gaspe was taken in 1883 when a charter was granted to the Gaspesian Railway Co. This rai~ way was to be buil t from a connec tion wi th the Intercolonial to the end 0 f the Gaspe peninsula, a distance of more than 210 miles. However, nothing was done for the next 19 years due to lack of capital. In 1902 the name of the company Vias changed to the 11atane and Gaspe Railway Co. and a new charter was obtained. The connection with the I. C. R. was to be st. Octave de Hetis. During the next few years more def­ inite plans were drawn up and with the increased prosperity of Canada in the early 20th century, the scheme for a seaport on the Gulf of st.Lawrence became very attractive. With such a port, the province of Quebec could handle ocean ships all year round, instead of only when the river was open. However, the success of the plan depended on a railway to connect this PHOTOORAPHS • Pages 161 and 160 - taken in 1909 during construction of the Canada & Gulf Terminal Rail,,·ay.

Accordingly, in 1909, the Matane and Gaspe Railway Company wa§ reorganized, its name changed to the Canada and Gulf Term:Lnal Railway Co.', and the charter was amended. Under the new provisions, Ste. Flavie (now Mont Joli) was designated the connec­ tion with the Intercolonial. The railway was to follow the st. Lawrence to Matane, then turn inland along the Matane river, and thence to Mont Louis Village, and on to Gaspe Basin. An extension, westward from st. Falvie for about 100 miles, was planned to connect with the National Transcontinental Railway at st. Eleuthere. The whole railway would have a length of 315 miles. Soon after this, the contract for the first section, i.e. Ste. Flavie to Matane, was let to H. Doheny of Montreal. Grading began in the autumn of 1909, and before the year was over, the grade and bridges were nearly complete on the first 10 miles. Work continued in the Spring, and the first rail ~as laid on May 7th, 1910. 80 lb. rail was used, and all major bridges were of steel. By October 31st, the track had passed beyond Metis, and on December 7th, 1910, the entire section from Ste.Flavie (Mont Joli) to Matane was handed over to the company for operation, a distance of 36 miles. The company at this time had 3 steam locomotives, 2 passenger coaches, 15 box cars, and 30 flat cars, the latter apparently being used mostly in construction,as their numbers declined greatly soon after. Dur­ ing the winter of 1910-1911, surveys were successfully conducted on the extension from Matane to Gaspe, a route being found which would insure a maximum grade of 0.6%, over a line passing mostly through virgin forest. However, there was no new construction in 1911, and in fact not for the next 10 years. Further survey was carried out on the Gaspe exten­ sion, and preliminary surveys on the westward line to st. Eleuthere indi­ cated that a successful route would be located. Rolling stock in 1914 consisted of 2 locomotives, 2 passenger cars, 1 combine, 1 baggage car, 3 box cars, 4 flat cars, and a caboose. 28,033 passengers were carried.

Never­ theless,custom dictates and friend­ ship requires that some comfortable last words should be said. LATER FOR MANY -:EARLIER FOR SOME- THE REI'IREMENT OF CANADIAN National Railway's 4-8 -4 no. 6218 became inevitable. The certifica­ tion of her bOiler,which was an essential requirement for her con­ tinuing operation, was carefully monitored and,in the autumn of 1970 railway enthusiasts in eastern North America were sustained by the hope that the Railway Transport Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission would accept a request from Canadian National for a six­ months extension of this certification beyond the terrtinal date of March 24,1971. Indeed,it was a foregone conclusion. In Montreal and Toronto,enthusiast groups confidently made plans for autumn 1971 ex­ cursions. Oh happy time 1 Oh equally happy prediction! NO. 6218 would thus be retired in a polychromatic crescendo of celebrations and autumn colours in Montreal - or equally,in Toronto - in September, 1971. THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MR. D. V. GONDER, VICE-PRESIDENT OF CN' S Great Lakes Region in the Montreal STAR of January 30, 1971, ~Ias not at all upsetting, as it reiterated that "the Company's famed loco­ motive 6218,one of Canada's last operating steam locomotives, will be withdra\'ll1 this year". Mr. Gonder assured 6218 's admirers that she would be given a proper accolade before her final retirement.

  • NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 the First TTC ALRV, 4200, Is Put Through Its Paces at the UTDC Test Track Near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987
    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 The first TTC ALRV, 4200, is put through its paces at the UTDC test track near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987. The car has been equipped with a bow collector temporarily but will sport a regular trolley pole in Toronto operation. The ALRV lacks its number and TTC crest, but already has a roll sign, turned up for 501 Queen, one of the routes on which it will operate. The boxes on the roof are for the ventilators and the brake resistors. Notable differences between this car and demonstrator 4900 include redesigned trucks, two sets of chopper controls, and standard foot controls instead of hand control. The first of the TTC's 52 ALRVs is expected to reach Toronto this summer, --Photo courtesy Ray Corley Two of the locomotives that helped the ONR to complete its dieselizatlon program were FP7A 1510 outshopped by DDGM in June, 1952, and GP9 1600, which left the London shop floor in July, 1956. The 1600 lacks the dynamic bralces so often associated with Geeps, but does have the less- familiar roof-mounted air reservoir tanks, as well as a steam generator for passenger service (note the stack in front of the bell). At the time that these photos were taken the units were still resplendent in the road's 1950s vintage dark green and yellow paint scheme, with red trim and, on the 1600, red numbers. ^^^^ nhntnQ JUNE 1987 3 (Editor's Note: The following article appeared in the Hamilton SPECTATOR on May 2, 1987, six » days before the official corporate windup of the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway.
