Montreal and Lachine Rail Road 1847 1947
Abstract
The Montreal and Lachine Railroad, the first railroad in Montreal, opened on November 19, 1847, with service between Bonaventure Station in Montreal and the Saint Lawrence River in Lachine. Built to by-pass the Lachine Rapids, the line was twelve kilometres long. The railway merged with the Lake St Louis and Province Railway in 1850, taking the name Montreal and New York Railroad. In 1857 it amalgamated with the Champlain and Saint Lawrence Railroad under the name Montreal and Champlain Railroad. It was eventually absorbed by the Grand Trunk Railway, which in turn was absorbed by the Canadian National Railway.
