Linked to these main predecessors were many smaller railway companies. Currently, the sous-fonds is broken down into the following main series, each linking to numerous sub-series and sub-sub-series. Although there is currently a separate sous-fonds for the Grand Trunk Railway Company, various series relating to aspects of the Grand Trunk Railway can be found here, including:
Grand Trunk properties in Quebec and New England
Grand Trunk Properties in Ontario
Grand Trunk properties in the United States
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway System
Other companies can be found in the following sub-series, such as:

There were other miscellaneous railways that were amalgamated into Canadian National that don't quite fit into the category of predecessor companies, but for purposes of accessibility, are located here as well.Source:PrivateFormer archival reference no.:RG30 -
