Grand River Ry.—A press report states that plans filed with the Galt, Ont., city council for a new right-of-way through the city provide for taking the line off the streets and carrying it along a private right-of-way, starting from Hunter's corner, passing under the subway beside the G.T.R. and the C.P.R., and then paralleling Mill Creek into the center of the city to the C.P.R. yards, to which point the Lake Erie & Northern Ry. runs. Between the crossing of Dundas and Main Sts. the line will be double track, the building of which work will necessitate the removal of the C.P.R. freight shed. A passenger station will be built at Main St., and a spur line will be run to the C.P.R. station. The work which the company has in hand on the north end of the line is reported to be practically completed, so that it is expected that the work in Galt will be put in hand at once and completed in time for the operation of traffic over the new route about the time the company's franchise along Water St., viz., Feb. 2, 1921. Another reason for making the change of route is to bring the line up to the same standard as the Lake Erie & Northern Ry., to run heavier traffic over it, and to eliminate stops. (Mar., pg. 145.)
