Grand Junction Railway

Dec 2022

Finally the Grand Junction project is here

Built in the 1870s as the Grand Junction Railway, this line ran from the Belleville waterfront on the Bay of Quinte North to Madoc Junction, Stirling, Campbellford, Hastings crossing the Trent and Indian Rivers then on to Peterborough and in to Omemee. At Omemee it met the Midland Railway's line from Millbrook via Bethany and carried on north to Lindsay and back down to Uxbridge. It would soon be absorbed into the Midlands lines, then Grand Trunk. The Grand Trunk Railway bankruptcy would make way for Canadian National Railways as most people would know this line (CN Campbellford Sub) and by the 1980s it would be abandoned, with all it's remaining CN track in Peterboro passing to CP, most of which would then be removed c2011 during the Harrison cuts at CP.
