Algoma Central Railway (1899-1901) |
BackgroundAlthough physically separate, the Algoma Central and Algoma Eastern were run by common management until the leasing of the latter to the Canadian Pacific in 1931. In more recent years, the Algoma Central was acquired first by the Wisconsin Central, and subsequently by Canadian National with their purchase of the Wisconsin Central, although they continue to have a separate listing in the ORER. Some AC equipment was renumbered to WC numbers following the first purchase. | Data has been taken from the following ORERs (MM/YY): 6/1900, 7/1901, 7/1903-10/1903, 5/1904-7/1904, 3/1905-4/1905, 6/1905-7/1905, 4/1906, 3/1907-1/1909, 3/1909-11/1909, 2/1910-9/1910, 2/1911-5/1911, 7/1911-7/1913, 9/1913-5/1915, 8/1915-6/1917, 11/1917, 1/1918-2/1918, 10/1918-1/1919, 9/1919-12/1919, 3/1920-7/1920, 12/1920-1/1921, 5/1921-5/1922, 7/1922-9/1922, 11/1922-2/1923, 4/1923-7/1924, 9/1924-11/1925, 1/1926-1/1927, 3/1927-9/1927, 11/1927-12/1927, 2/1928-12/1928, 2/1929-10/1956, 4/1957-7/2005, 1/2006, 4/2007-7/2013, 1/2014 & 7/2014-4/2023. |
