Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway Co. (1906-1/1987) |
BackgroundThe Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo was incorporated in 1884 to build from Toronto via Hamilton to the International Bridge over the Niagara River. It was jointly controlled by the New York Central and Canadian Pacific for many years — in the late 1980s CP Rail would acquire sole control, and fold the TH&B into its own operations. | Data has been taken from the following ORERs (MM/YY): 11/1898-3/1899, 3/1903, 1/1904-7/1904, 11/1904-6/1905, 4/1906, 11/1906-1/1909, 4/1909-11/1909, 2/1910-9/1910, 1/1911-5/1911, 7/1911-7/1913, 10/1913-7/1914, 10/1914-5/1915, 8/1915-2/1918, 1/1919, 10/1919-11/1919, 4/1920-5/1920, 7/1920, 1/1921, 9/1921-5/1922, 8/1922-9/1922, 12/1922-1/1924, 3/1924-2/1925, 4/1925-1/1927, 3/1927-12/1927, 2/1928-12/1928, 2/1929-5/1929, 7/1929-8/1929, 10/1929-12/1929, 3/1930-4/1930, 6/1930-7/1932, 7/1934-1/1942 & 10/1942-10/2021.
