The Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) was a historic Canadian railway system that played a pivotal role in the country’s transportation development. Established in 1852, the GTR initially aimed to connect the key cities of Toronto and Montreal, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers. Over the years, it expanded its network, eventually stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The railway system became a vital link in Canada’s transportation infrastructure, fostering economic growth and trade. Parts of its original network are still in use today as part of the Canadian National Railway system.
