Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway
Fatpig73:
'''Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway''' were two railway lines that existed in the 19th Century in Ontario.<ref>https://ift.tt/2y5iPZX>
The first WGBR was a planned line founded in 1856 as Canada North West Railway Company but was never built with charter lapsed in 1861.<ref>https://ift.tt/2y5iPZX>
The second attempt in 1864 resulted in the successful building of a line from [[Guelph, Ontario|Guelph]] to [[Harristown, Ontario|Harriston]] from 1867 to 1871. Further extensions were added from 1871 to 1874. The line was sold to [[Grand Trunk Railway]] in 1882 and disappeared as a corporate entity by 1893. The line was later acquired by [[Canadian National Railway]]. The line would be torn up over the 1980s to 1990s.
Nine of seventeen mainline stations remain with none as active railway stations.
