Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records created and maintained by the Canadian National Railways Superintendent for the Southwest Ontario subdivision for the period 1909-1962. These records concern the daily operations of the Grand Trunk Railway (primarily in vols. 2551 to 2673) from 1909 to 1922. Later volumes contain files relating to the subsequent operations of the Canadian National Railway. All are on the Southwestern Ontario Subdivision between Black Rock, N.Y. and Windsor, Ontario. Most of the files are dated between 1909-1936, but a few are continued until 1962.

The district Superintendent's office is located in St. Thomas, Ontario. The majority of these files consist of correspondence regarding property leases, the construction and maintenance of sidings, personnel records, operating expense reports, repairs and miscellaneous requests. In addition, there are a number of decisions ordered by the Board of Railroad Commissioners dealing with safety measures to be followed by employees, investigations into accidents, and the setting of local disputes between the railways and various towns. There are also some files which relate to shared facilities with other railways.

Of note are the following files:

Vol 2602 contains records relating to: Lease to Kohler Brothers, re Scale Side at Nelles Corner, Ontario (Plans are included); Agreement with John H. Strong, re Water Pipe Crossing at Belle River, Ontario (Plans are included); Lease of Site to H.
