In 1849 the government
of Upper Canada issued the Guarantee Act offering government
aide to every railway of 70 miles or larger. This act
prompted a flurry of railway construction activity throughout
Upper Canada. The railways brought with them the promise
of cheap year-round transportation. Any town that was
lucky or rich enough to have a railway station was almost
guaranteed to be more prosperous than a community with
no railway access. |
