The Ontario West Shore Railway is a historic Canadian railway that operated in Ontario. The company started construction on a railway line between Goderich and Kincardine in the early 1900s, however the line was never completed. The company's president was J. W. Moyes of Toronto, Ontario.〔The Goderich Star, August 28, 1908〕 Moyes was neither wealthy nor a railroad man. ==Huron, Bruce and Grey Electric Railway== In 1902, Moyes incorporated the Huron, Bruce and Grey Electric Railway then proceeded to lobby local municipalities for capital.〔The Goderich Star, March 7, 1902〕 He asked the town of Goderich for $50,000, the township of Ashfield for $50,000 and $25,000 each from Colbourne and West Wawanosh townships.〔The Goderich Star, April 11, 1902〕 The initial scheme was to build a railroad from Goderich to Dunlop. From Dunlop, the line was to branch to Amberley and Dungannon. A third branch would be built from Saltford to Blyth. Freight and daily passenger service would operate on all lines.〔The Goderich Star, July 4, 1902〕〔The Goderich Star, November 14, 1902〕 Each municipality held a vote on the scheme. Goderich approved the $50,000 investment,〔The Goderich Star, December 5, 1902〕 while the townships rejected the plan.〔The Goderich Star, December 19, 1902〕〔The Goderich Star, January 23, 1903〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontario West Shore Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
