General

Station Name: Cardwell JunctionWas this station was built as a result of the brief period of cooperation between the GT Ry. and CPR when the latter railway enjoyed running rights between Toronto and Callander? The CPR opened its Sudbury-Kleinburg branch on June 15, 1908[Wilson-1983, pp. 139 & 140]. Or was this a result of the brief period 1880/1883-07-26[Wilson-1983, p. 40] during which the GTR controlled the TG&BR? Or was this because the GTR did have it's own link to Owen Sound—the northern terminus of the TG&BR—until 1894-08-29[Bowers-1983, pp. 22].
