Show detail Hide detail

Ontario Car Ferry Company : The Ontario Car Ferry Company (Limited) was incorporated on 30 November 1905 by Dominion Letters Patent as a joint enterprise between the Grand Trunk and the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railway, each of which held a 50% share. The Company operated two car ferries between Cobourg, Ont., and Charlotte, N.Y., (the port of Rochester). This service proved profitable until the end of the Second World War when deficits and equipment replacement costs forced suspension of operations after 30 April 1950. The Ontario Car Ferry Company (Limited) was liquidated on 9 November 1954. RG30 General Inventory
