James Bay Railway opened.

Last Monday, November 19, was a historic day all along the line of the Canadian Northern Railway, from Toronto to Parry Sound, a distance of about 149 miles. The road was opened on Monday for regular passenger traffic, the first train steaming out of the Union Station 8.10. Crowds of people gathered at most of the important stations, and showed their appreciation of the new line by cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. At Beaverton a band was at the station, and smaller demonstrations were held at various other places. Many of the prominent citizens at Richmond Hill showed their interest in the railroad by their presence at the opening and expressed a belief that a benefit to the town is sure to result. The train that went north was made up of a first-class passenger car, a first-class smoking car, and a mail and express car. The accommodation was quite up-to-date. The principal stations along the line are as follows:—Torotno, Rosedale, DuncanDuncan was later known as Oriole., ThornhillThornhill was later known as Thornlea., Richmond Hill, Gormley, Vandorf, Pine Orchard, Mount Albert, Zephyr, CedardaleCedardale was later known as Cedar Brae, Pefferlaw, Beaverton, Gamebridge, Brechin, Udney, Monk Road, Washago, Sparrow Lake, Southward, Torrance, Dudley, Foote's Bay, Lake Joseph, Blackstone, Falding, and Parry Sound.
