1900-12-19 Ottawa Central StationThe new union depot for Ottawa, so long talked of, will be built during the coming year, if present intentions are carried out. A prominent official of the Canada Atlantic railway stated today that he did not have the remotest doubt that the work would be proceeded with considering that in the spring the government will vacate the building at the canal basin used jointly for militia stores and depot purposes. The new military stores building in the rear of the drill hall is already completed on the outside, so that early in the summer it will be in readiness for occupancy. Mr. J. R. Booth has time and again asserted that as soon as the new building is done work on the union depot will be started.Ottawa Citizen 1900-12-19(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-01-11 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanyThe Canada Atlantic Railway propose to obtain authority to construct a branch from Galetta, in Fitzroy township, northerly across the Ottawa river to a point on the Pontiac and Pacific Junction Railway between Quyon and Shawville, in Pontiac county; also to make an extension of the line in question to Arnprior. The company also wants authority enabling it to build bridges, tramways, vessels, wharves, warehouses and docks, and to develop electric energy by the use of water power.Mercury 1901-01-11(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-01-30 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanyThe Canada Atlantic Railway company has until Feb. 4th to sign an agreement with the city regarding the Bridge Street and Wellington Street crossings. Mr. J.R. Booth applied to the council in 1900 for permission to lay tracks across Bridge street so that he could run trains to his mill; the council gave permission but the committee's report placed a ten-year time limit in the agreement, which the company did not sign, although the rails were laid. Mr. Booth told the committee that on the strength of the permission he had undertaken work that would lead to an outlay of between $70,000 and $80,000, including a double track steel bridge 450 feet wide across the slides, and objected to a limit of ten years on the use of the crossing, wanting a perpetual right instead. The railway and lighting committee decided to give the company ten days to sign the agreement or have council rescind its permission to use the crossing.Ottawa Journal 1901-01-30(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-03-01 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanyTHE C.A.R. WON. Toronto, Feb. 28 - the city of Ottawa won yesterday against the C.P.R. in the 'Barricade' suit. This morning in a similar case the Canada Atlantic secured a victory over the city. The case was that of the Bridge street crossing and the company has obtained an injunction to prevent the city authorities from barricading or fencing across the tracks. The city appealed against the injunction and the divisional court this morning dismissed the city's appeal. The railway company, however, is ordered to expedite the case to determine the terms on which the crossing shall be used. The reason why the judgment is the opposite of that in the C.P.R. crossing case is that the Canada Atlantic has obtained the approval of the railway committee of the privy council to the crossing plans.Ottawa Citizen 1901-03-01(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1901-03-09 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanySurveyors are at work on a short line between Ottawa and Montreal for the Canada Atlantic Railway. It is claimed that it will be the shortest line between the capital and the metropolis... When the new line is built the Canada Atlantic fast trains will not run to Coteau. They will leave the central depot as usual, but will branch off from the present line after leaving Ottawa and will run direct to Vaudreuil and thence into the city of Montreal.Eastern Ontario Review 1901-03-09(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1901-03-22 CaldwellAn elderly man named Hugh Henderson, a resident of Grattan township, was killed by the snowplough special on the Canada Atlantic near Caldwell's station on Wednesday afternoon. Henderson was walking along the track with his shovel on his shoulder, and evidently heard the whistle, for he started to run ahead. But he must have been confused, for he remained close by the rails, and was struck and killed.Almonte Gazette 1901-03-22(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)

1901-04-05 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanyThe Canada Atlantic Railway authorities state that they have surveyed three routes for their short line to Montreal. One route is from Glen Robertson direct to Vaudreuil. A second is from St. Justin direct to Vaudreuil and a third is north of both of these and not touching at Vaudreuil at all, but entering Montreal by a direct line.Eastern Ontario Review 1901-04-05(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1901-04-12 Coteau ElevatorMr. E.J. Chamberlain, general manager of the Canada Atlantic Railway, was in Montreal Friday (5/4) and expressed himself very plainly on the elevator question. He states that the contract his company has in connection with [Coteau] and [the elevator] between that point and Montreal had expired after running three years. They now have to make other arrangements and unless something can be done in Montreal the company will have to go elsewhere.Eastern Ontario Review 1901-04-12(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1901-04-23 The Canada Atlantic Railway CompanyThe CAR is going to shorten its line to Montreal by eight miles. Mr. E.J. Chamberlain, general manager of the CAR, told a Journal reporter that the company was satisfied with the survey of the proposed cut made a few weeks ago and as soon as the ground is in condition to permit a detailed survey, the work will be done and the permanent location for the road will be made. The cut will be from St. Justine to Vaudreuil, thus reducing the distance from twenty-seven miles to nineteen miles. By Coteau the distance is twenty-seven miles. This cut will give the CAR the shortest distance to Montreal. Distance by CAR is 116 miles, by CPR 112 miles, by this cut it will be 108.Ottawa Journal 1901-04-23(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1901-04-29 Chadiere JunctionOn Saturday Ald. Plouffe had an interview with General Manager A.J. Chamberlain of the CAR and secured his sanction to the construction of a fully equipped station at the Rochester Street crossing. The public will be able to buy tickets at the new station for all points on the line. This will be a decided accommodation for the ratepayers of Dalhousie ward as heretofore they had to come all the way to Central station when they wished to travel by CAR.Ottawa Journal 1901-04-29(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-08-09 RenfrewA COLLISION AT RENFREW. West Bound Local Ran Into East Bound Freight but all Escaped With a Shaking up. Renfrew, Ont., Aug. 9. - The westbound local on the C.A.R. due here at 6.20 ran into the east bound way-freight last night by taking the switch instead of the main line. The switch board was properly set but in some way the switch was wrong or else sprung by weight of train. The engines and tender, along with two or three cars were smashed somewhat but all the passengers and employees escaped with a severe shaking up. The wreck is now cleared away and the line is again fit for traffic.Ottawa Journal 1901-08-09(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...),Almonte Gazette 1901-08-16(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-09-14 Hawkesbury BranchC.A.R. Leaves the Track. Bad wreck on the Canada Atlantic Railway last Saturday - much damage done but no lives lost. The Canada Atlantic mail train, due here at noon, was wrecked at Potter's brick yard on Saturday last on its way to Hawkesbury. The train was taking two new engines down to Hawkesbury for the use of the Great Northern Railway. It is thought the weight of these engines running at a rapid rate of speed spread the rails and derailed the train. One engine, four freight cars, a baggage car and the passenger coach were wrecked. The engine and one freight car were turned entirely upside down and another freight car was thrown at right angles across the track. The road bed and track were completely destroyed for several rods. There were only four passengers in the coach and they escaped without any injury. A wrecking crew came down from Ottawa in the afternoon and after working all night and all day Sunday in the rain succeeded in clearing the track.Eastern Ontario Review 1901-09-20(Transcribed by Colin J.

1901-11-25 Ottawa Central StationThis morning the Ottawa and New York express due at the Central Station at 10.45 struck and seriously injured Telesphore Gravelle of Aylmer, a fireman on the Ottawa, Northern and Western Railway. The unfortunate man had put his engine into the round house and was walking towards the station between the rails and the main line. The engineer on the passenger train whistled three times and had slowed considerably when Gravelle was struck. The cow catcher knocked Gravelle down but clear of the rails.
