Later I began to search in earnest; I became like a detective on a challenging case. I was soon hooked. The trail would take me over virtually every mile of the Canada Southern Railway (CSR) line in Ontario. I would visit or contact archives, libraries and museums in Canada and the United States, both along the CSR route and well removed from it. Hours and miles passed. I met many people who shared generously of their time and treasures. Without such people this book would not only have been significantly different, it would never have been finished.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.63em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe scope of this work ranges from the railway's humble beginnings in post-Confederation Ontario in 1868 to the bitter, protracted battles about the line's future before the Canadian Transport Commission in the 1980s. The railway was born at a time when railway fever convinced ill-prepared backers that money could be made out of nerve and dreams. The railway almost died at more recent time, a victim of the struggle of mega-railways whose well-prepared backers were equally convinced that they could make money out of nerve alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:1.5em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eForeword\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER IIn Search of a Railway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER IICrossing the Pleasant Peninsula\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER IIILooking West Again\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER IVGetting 'Round the Falls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER VFrom Bailiff to Sugar Daddy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER VIExpansion in Ontario\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Bookman Old Style;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eCHAPTER VIIAll Trains -
