The South Norfolk Railway was incorporated in 1886, to construct a railway from Simcoe, Ontario to Port Rowan, Ontario.〔 〕 ==Summary== In 1887, the station was acquired by Grand Trunk Railway and was absorbed into their railway network.〔 〕 Simcoe was already connected to the railway grid by other railways.〔 〕 The South Norfolk Railway had intermediate stations at Vittoria, Walsh and Forestville. The proximity of Walsh's railway station to Young's Creek brought extra economical advantages to flour and lumber mills operating in the region. From a geographical perspective, Young's Creek originates about four kilometers northwest of the Walsh and passes through the village along with Vittoria before discharging into Lake Erie, away in Port Ryerse.〔(''Young's Creek'' ) information at TravelingLuck.com, accessed 20 February 2012〕 A lawsuit was initiated in 1888 between the Port Rowan and Lake Shore Railway and the South Norfolk Railway.〔 〕 The railway was eventually run by Canadian National Railway, which closed the line in 1965.〔 Workers from the CNR would eventually remove the railroad tracks; thus reverting it to private property status. 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「South Norfolk Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
