Cobourg and Peterborough Railway COBOURG AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY A tiny settlement founded by United Empire Loyalists on the sh Lake Ontario in the late 1790s, only thirty years later Cobourg w thriving village on the verge of becoming a town. Among its lea. citizens at that time was William Weller, owner of the famous R Mail Coach Lines, who along with other progressively mindecL" advocated a railway for Cobourg. r . Under one of the two earliest railway charters granted Canada, the Cobourg Railroad Company was incorporated in 1834 power to construct a "double or single iron or wooden rail road" f. Cobourg northward to Rice Lake. Although the provincial govern~' generously pledged a subscription of £10,000 in the venture, promo~-~ ..,:. were unable to raise sufficient capital. Consequently the project w-,: . shelved until 1846, at which time it was resurrected as the Cobourg and Rice Lake Plank Road and Ferry Company. Built by Samuel Gor~, this eleven-mile stretch of plank road barely survived the frosts of th'e first two winters before it had to be abandoned. Then came the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway, incor- porated in 1852. It turned out to be haunted by a series of misfortunes right from the start. Following a portion of the old plank road, it ran to Harwood, and headed via Tick Island across the widest part of Rice Lake to Hiawatha and then on to Peterborough. The first sod for the Cobourg and Peterborough was turned at Cobourg on February 9, 1853. Before the rails reached the south shore of Rice Lake, a cholera outbreak took a heavy toll among construction workers, mostly German immigrants, who had been hired to work on the line for a dollar a day. The Rice Lake Bridge, although largely completed by the end of 1853, was severely damaged by shoving ice that winter, and the opening of the bridge had to be postponed until the following November. A pile structure from Harwood to Tick Island, the bridge changed to thirty-three 80-foot truss spans, with a 120-foot-long swing section in the navigation channel, and continued to the north shore again as a pile trestle. Ju<;t under three miles in length, it was likely the longest bridge on the North American continent at the time but undoubtedly also one of the most ill-fated. No sooner had trains begun to operate over the com- pleted line to Peterborough, when on January 1, 1855 ice jams in the lake pushed the north pile bridge towards the Peterborough shore, the truss span towards Tick Island, and the southern trestle towards the Cobourg shore. Near the island there was a gap of seven feet. Repairing and main~ taining the Rice Lake Bridge soon turned out to be considerably more of a problem than its original construction. To add to the railway's troubles, contractor Samuel Zimmer- man demanded a price far in excess of his original estimate. At first he refused to turn the road over to the company, but when the directors eventually ran out of ready cash he let them have the line in a partially completed condition. The sum of £10,000, borrowed by the railway from the Marriage Licence Fund of Canada West, was merely a drop in the bucket in trying to bring the road up '0 standard. Nearly every winter the bridge was damaged and required extensive repairs; the line's operating costs were staggering. f . Although the Cobdurg-Peterborough Railway contributed a great deal to Peterborough's flourishing export trade, the town of Pe*; borough had never invested a single cent in the enterprise nor did"'- intend to come to the railway's rescue at any time. The fact was, Pet~ borough already possessed a perfectly reliable connection to ~ Ontario via the Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railway, which Wi. ,_ \. f 94 not encumbered with such hazards as a flimsy railroad bridge most of 'ithe timeout of commission. Consequently Cobourgers alone ended up {IPending nearly one million dollars on their troubled railroad which was .:j\o more than thirty miles long. Their pride received another blow in the fall of 1860, when the Prince of Wales~ who visited the area, was not .permitted to cross Rice Lake on the infamous railway bridge. During the following winter fate struck its mortal blow. The bridge disintegrated and floated down the lake. There were those who claimed that some extra help must have been supplied by agents of the rival Port Hope Railway. In any event, the bridge was never again re- built, although plans for its reopening did not die for many years to come. In 1866 the company merged with the Marmora Iron Works under the new corporate name of Cobourg, Peterborough and Marmora Railway and Mining Company. The following year it opened a spur line from the Trent River to the Marmora Iron Mines at Blairton. Ore ship- Toronto and Nipissing Railway: Loco- ments from the mines were transferred onto barges at the Trent River motive Shedden, a double-header, and transported to Harwood, whence they continued by rail over the old c.1870 tracks to Cobourg. Traffic on the Blairton branch, however, came to a halt in the late seventies when no more new ore deposits were found. The long-abandoned Rice Lake-Peterborough section of the road was leased to the Grand Junction Railway which required entry into Peterborough, and in 1886 the railway was sold to a Mr. Pearse. Reorganized the following year as the Cobourg, Blairton and Marmora Railway and Mining Company, the road eventually came under the control of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. MIDLAND RAILWAY OF CANADA The Midland Railway of Canada evolved from the 1846 charter of the Peterborough and Port Hope Railway Company which changed its name in 1854 to the Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton. From 1869 on, it was known as the Midland Railway of Canada. The Port Hope-Lindsay section opened for traffic in December 1857, and a branch from Mill- brook to Peterborough was built the following year. After the reorgani- zation in 1869, construction continued and a branch was also built from Peterborough to Lakefield. By 1879 the line was completed from Lindsay via Beaverton and Orillia to Midland. Under an agreement with the respective companies, signed in 1882, the Midland Railway of Canada and five lines adjacent to its property were consolidated into one system to be known as the Midland Railway of Canada. Involved in this merger with the Midland were the i following lines: the Toronto and Nipissing Railway; the Toronto and iOttawa Railway; the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway; the f . Victoria Railway and the Grand Junction Railway. The entire Midland ',lslstern was leased to the Grand Trunk in 1884. ~. :;'- ~~.;f .;;..' .••. E TORONTO AND NIPISSING RAILWAY . e Toronto and Nipissing Railway was incorporated in 1868 by William derham, a prominent Toronto flour miller and distiller, who firmly 'eved that pioneer railways should be built in the most economical nner. He therefore chose the narrow gauge of 3' 6" for his line, which .,. ant a large comparative saving in construction and maintenance. enever he travelled over his railway, he instructed the engineer "to w down the train" in order to minimize wear and tear on the light -pound rails. His "colonization railway" into the Ontario Northland owned in the beginning solely by its shareholders and borrowed no '. ,ore money than was absolutely neces~ary. Gooderham wanted the.

  • Of Iron and Ozone: the History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012
    Of Iron and Ozone: The History of the American Summer Colony in Cobourg, Ontario Marsha Ann Tate Bookend Seminar, October 17, 2012 Marsha Ann Tate is Instructor of Communication at Juniata College. n the decades following the U.S. Civil War, a group of industrialists from Huntingdon County, I Pennsylvania, and its environs played a central role in transforming Cobourg, Ontario, a community nestled on Lake Ontario’s northern shore, into a renowned North American resort. Cobourg’s historical importance, however, is not only owed to the number of summer vacationers it attracted from throughout the United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s, but also to their unique character. For example, counted among Cobourg’s seasonal residents were, among others: (a) the wives of Ulysses S. Grant and Jefferson Davis; (b) countless veterans of the Union and Confederate Armies; (c) high-ranking federal and state government officials, including cabinet officers, U.S. Senators, and Supreme Court Justices; (d) wealthy businesspeople; (e) actors and musicians; as well as (f) working-class families. Based upon a decade-long research project, “Of Iron and Ozone” traces the development of Cobourg as a resort community, with an emphasis upon the multifaceted socioeconomic relationships that evolved among the varied individuals who summered there. SETTING THE STAGE Cobourg, located on Lake Ontario’s northern shore across from Rochester, New York, possesses unpretentious beginnings. Although naturally endowed with moderate summer temperatures, refreshing

  • Woolen Mill Matting Factory
    FACTORIES ON FACTORY CREEK ONTARIO WOOLEN MILLS Percy Climo, one of the area's prolific historians, tells us that as early as 1797 there was settlement at the Tremaine Street area of Factory Creek. "From later deeds and other information we know that our settler (Elias Jones) located his house to the west of the creek estuary, on rising ground and a short distance from the lake bank...His overland lane, northward to the Indian Trail, now King Street, later became Tremaine Street." Factory Creek, also known as Cobourg Creek, has claimed other names too: Jones Creek, Harris Creek, Henry’s Creek. Each name referred to a land owner, or his mill which used the flow of the creek’s water to turn the wheels that powered the saws and millstones. As early as 1820 one Robert Henry had built a grist mill on the southeast corner of King and Tremaine Streets. Various owners took over until 1843 when Captain Patrick Wallace and his nephews, the Mackechnie brothers, built a woolen mill there. At that time the Ontario Woolen Mills was the largest woolen mill in British North America. The Cobourg Star of January 21, 1846 was swept away with enthusiasm for the new mill. Altogether the Ontario Mills Woolen Factory is a most pleasant spectacle to look upon for all who feel an interest in the progressing advancement of Canada as a dependency of the British Crown, and... we entertain no doubt of its future and rapid prosperity. The reporter goes on to describe the layout of the 4 1/2 story brick building in detail.

  • Notes Cobourg's History Important
    • Important Notes In Cobourg's History First Mayor of Cobourg 1837 COBOURG 1937 (F'or much of the information to be found 'in the jollowing historical sketch of the Town of Cobourg, we are indebted to the Cobourg Selltinel-Star, and Edwin C. Guillet, Jlf.A.) To obtain an accurate impression of the appearance of Cobourg at the time of the first settlement of the district one need only look at the cedar swamps and thickets to the east and west of the present town. The various creeks which enter the lake in the vicinity of Cobourg were much larger in the pioneer period and at times a considerable amount of the land was under water. According to Mr. Edwin C. Guillet, M.A., in the Sentinel-Star, July 22, 1937, the first deed in the township of Hamilton seems to have been granted to Joseph Ash in 1798, but he was located to the east of the present town near the Kingston Road railway crossings. Gull Light Tower in 1840 - At that time, there was not even a trail through the woods and the lake shore formed the only highway. Between 1799 and 1801, however, Asa Danforth, American road builder, blazed a trail through the woods from Kingston to Ancaster at the head of Lake Ontario, but until 1817 when the Kingston Road was re- surveyed and re-opened, the trail was hardly fit for travel of any kind. In 1798, a Loyalist Eliud Nickerson built a rude log hut on the shores of the creek which still runs Above is a picture of the Gull Rock Lighthouse situated half way be- tween Port Hope and Cobourg.
