Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Toronto Belt Line Railway Company : The Toronto Belt Line Railway Company was incorporated on 23 March 1889 (Ontario Statutes, 42 Vic., Cap. 82) to build a railway from the Grand Trunk line to the east of Toronto to the same line to the west, passing north of the city. By an agreement signed in January 1890, the line was to be leased to the Grand Trunk on completion. In June 1892 the Grand Trunk obtained a larger interest, and agreed to complete the line. The 12.75 miles of track was completed and opened for traffic in 1892, but did not prove a financial success, operating as a corporation for only two years. The line was either sold or incorporated into the main Grand Trunk line. On 31 December 1943, the existence of the Toronto Belt Line Railway Company ended when all rights and properties were sold to the Canadian National Railway Company. RG30 General Inventory
