Name of Route: London and Port Stanley Railway
Version and Release Date: V1.06 Released August 5, 2005
Description: The L&PS was built in 1856 to connect London, Ontario, Canada with Port Stanley 24 miles away on the Lake Erie shore. Initially operated as a steam railroad, it underwent a major rebuild in 1914 with conversion to electric operation. By 1920, the bulk of the freight revenue was from coal traffic. Loaded coal hoppers, transported by car ferry from Conneaut Ohio, were delivered to customers in London and St. Thomas. Busy connections with four major railroads provided both passenger and freight business. In addition, excursions to the L&PS owned resort facilities at Port Stanley kept the passenger trains full all summer.
