Joseph Hobson, the Chief Engineer, successfully combined three significant new technologies—a tunnel shield driven by hydraulic rams; a cast iron tunnel lining; and the use of a compressed air environment. This tunnel eliminated a major bottleneck in the rail transportation system linking the American midwest with its eastern markets. Project Information; This documentation is the result of a Memorandum of Agreement, among the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Detroit District and the Canadian National North America Railroad as a mitigative measure before the closing of the tunnel.

The study area encompasses the bridge, which is located on Norwich Street between Arthur Street North and Cardigan Street and is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (City of Guelph By-Law [1998] – 15786). This report will establish the cultural heritage significance of the Norwich Street Bridge and assess impacts of the proposed undertaking in consideration of its determined cultural heritage value. The bridge carries pedestrian traffic over the Speed River in the City of Guelph, Ontario. According to available bridge documentation and existing plaques on the bridge itself, the Norwich Street Bridge was built in 1882 (City of Guelph Designation By-Law, 1998).

Dozens of short local lines were initially chartered, construction began on some, and a few even operated, only to be bought out by a larger line whose directors had ambitions to develop a system. Strategies for connect­ ing key shipping nodes drove most company development. By 1882, the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) had bought up most of the smaller lines and competing systems in Ontario, leaving the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the Canada Southern as its chief com­ petitors. The urge to build to the Pacific resulted in three trans-national lines operat­ ing by the First World War: the CPR, the Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP), and the Canadian Northern (CNoR). Overextension and the huge costs of building and operating railways through the Rockies caused the bankruptcy of the CNoR in 1918, followed by the GTP in 1920 and the Grand Trunk, its parent, in 1923.

    APRIL 14, 2015 Page 1 of 93 11. C.23 - CW INFO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 25, 2015 Pettapiece presents Network Southwest plan to transport minister (Queen’s Park) – When it comes to improved local transportation options, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece wants to get the province on board. Today in the legislature, Pettapiece presented Steven Del Duca, Ontario’s transportation minister, with a copy of the Network Southwest plan unveiled March 18 in St. Marys. “I explained to the minister how important this is to many in our community,” said Pettapiece. “He was very receptive,” he added. The MPP also wrote to the minister on behalf of the 86 people who signed postcards to support the Network Southwest plan. He presented all the postcards directly to the minister along with a full copy of the plan. The postcards state: “High quality intercity transportation, based on rail and bus, is a necessity of any modern nation. Southwestern Ontario has a particular need, due to high road congestion, population density and diverse economic activity.” They also call for a definitive study on the concept plan as outlined by Network Southwest. Pettapiece has written and spoken many times about the importance of improved transportation options – and, in particular, the need to extend GO transit service through Perth-Wellington. Last year the MPP took the extra step of submitting an Order Paper question on the Premier’s stated intention of extending GO transit service to our riding. Pettapiece was not pleased by the response, which made no mention of rural transportation challenges, focusing instead on the government’s promises for the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area.

  • TAKING on the GRAND TRUNK: the Locomotive Engineers Strike of 1876-7*
    TAKING ON THE GRAND TRUNK: The Locomotive Engineers Strike of 1876-7* Desmond Morton Erindale College University of Toronto On December 29th, 1876 shortly after 9 p.m., the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers struck the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. For 108 hours, a few hundred men scattered along a thousand miles of track challenged the power of Canada's most powerful corporation. By the end, they had to reckon with the military and legal power of the Dominion itself. Yet, in the face of such odds, they triumphed.1 A century later, the strike and its significance are virtually for­ gotten. Neither the engineers' struggle nor the Breaches of Contract Act which grew out of it feature in the standard chronologies of * Research for this paper was assisted by a grant from the Ontario Arts Council. 'On the strike, the best source is Shirley Ann Ayer, "The Locomotive Engineers' Strike on the Grand Trunk Railway in 1876-77," M.A. thesis, McGill University, 1961 and James A.
