The
Great Western Railway was a historic
Canadian railway that operated in
Canada West and later the province of
Ontario, following
Confederation. Entrepreneur
Samuel Zimmerman was instrumental in promoting its construction.
This system stretched, running from
Niagara Falls to
Toronto and connecting lines to
London,
Windsor and communities in the
Bruce Peninsula. Having begun operations in 1853, the company was purchased in August 1882 by the
Grand Trunk Railway system and fully merged by 1884.
The main Niagara Falls-Windsor line is now the
Canadian National Railway's
Grimsby Subdivision,
Dundas Subdivision,
Chatham Subdivision, and
CASO Subdivision. The Toronto branch is the
Oakville Subdivision, and the Sarnia branch is the
Strathroy Subdivision (which also includes a short piece of the main line, from
London to
Komoka).
