Napanee connection and station.—Both the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk had stations at Napanee, Ont. One of the first results of coordination was an arrangement for both lines to use the G.T.R. station. This necessitated some re-arrangement of tracks, and to enable Canadian Northern trains to reach the station, that company in 1921 built a connection south of the G.T.R., approximately 1,200 ft. long, which leaves the C.N.R. approximately 465 ft. south of the diamond crossing of the C.N.R. and G.T.R. main lines, and joins the G.T.R. about 820 ft. east of the C.N.R. crossing. In 1922 the C.N.R. graded another connection, leaving the G.T.R. about 1,660 ft. east of the diamond crossing, running north approximately 3,751 ft. and joining the C.N.R. about 4,300 ft. north of the diamond. Track will be laid on this connection this year and as soon as this is done the C.N.R. will be able to abandon the diamond crossing and use the two connections are parts of its main line.
