Viewing Album:  Port Stanley Terminal Rail
 
By:Neil Barratt
Dates:11/9/2002 - 11/9/2002
Album Info:The trains of THE PORT STANLEY TERMINAL RAIL travel over the tracks and roadbed of one of Ontario’s oldest railways, The London and Port Stanley Railway, which was designed to alleviate congestion on a plank road that had been built to connect Port Stanley and London. Entirely constructed by hand labor, the railway project was begun in 1853 shortly after the Great Western Railway reached London. Both railways were constructed to the broad gauge of 5 feet. A few years later this was changed to the standard gauge of 4 feet-8 1/2 inches. The first train to reach Port Stanley was a passenger train on July 5th 1856.
