C.P.R. betterments, construction, etc.

...

The Georgian Bay and Seaboard Ry. has been built from Victoria Harbor to Coldwater Jct., on the Toronto-Sudbury line, and construction is being proceeded with between Coldwater Jct., and Bethany siding on the C.P.R. Toronto-Montréal line. The original route map approved by the Minister of Railways, showed a line through Orillia and Lindsay to Peterboro, but a revised location has been approved from Lindsay to Bethany Village, and a plan showing the location between Bethany Village and the Toronto-Montréal line has been filed and is awaiting approval. The route plan shows that the Lindsay and Bobcaygeon Ry. will be used in Lindsay town, and south of the G.T.R. tracks, and the route will be south easterly through Ops and Manvers tps., reaching the Toronto-Montréal line just inside the boundary of Cavan tp. The principal bridge on the line will be that across Distillery Creek, Lindsay. The general contract, for the sections of the line now under construction, was let to the Toronto Construction Co., and sub-contracts have been let to Johnson Bros., for the section between Lorneville and Cambray, and to Perry and Stewart, for the section between Cambray and Lindsay.
