| 1892-11-04≥ | By November 4, 1892, considerable trouble was expected between the C.P.R. and the O. & P.S. railway companies near Adam Prince's, close to Wilno, where there was only one pass between two large mountains and both companies claimed the right to run their line through it. Mr. Mountain, chief engineer for the O. & P.S., had already purchased all the land in the vicinity, held the deeds, and posted notices forbidding trespass. | Mercury 1892-11-04(Renfrew Mercury, quoting the Eganville Star.

| 1894-03-23 | Mr. J. O'Brien, contractor, has the Wilno pass cleared, and is commencing the rock cut in it, which is very heavy. The materials will be used in a long dump at the foot of the pass. This dump will, in some places, be forty-one feet high. | Mercury 1894-03-23(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) | |

| 1894-08-24 | The directors have received an application from near Wilno, on the line of the O.A. & P.S.R., for the establishment of a skimming station there. An answer has been returned that the application will be favourably entertained, if a sufficient number of cows to supply enough cream can be obtained. | Mercury 1894-08-24(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1894-11-02 | On the OA & PS line west of Wilno, there is a sink hole which causes the company a good deal of trouble and expense, and is continually sinking and requiring more ballast. A few days ago, while a train was passing, one side sank eighteen inches, nearly throwing the last of the cars off the track. | Eganville Enterprise 1894-11-02(Transcribed by Colin J.

| 1894-11-15 | The O.A. & P.S. Ry. Co. has been petitioned to build a station at Wilno, half way between Barry's Bay and Killaloe. | Ottawa Journal 1894-11-15(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher, Ottawa Railway H...) | |
| 1895-08-02 | There is dissatisfaction amongst the residents around Wilno at the place where the OA & PS Ry. Co. have placed the Wilno station. There are no public roads leading to it, and the settlers through whose land it is reached are threatening to close the road, as travellers will leave gates open. The station house is an old car placed on a siding where a gravel pit was. The difficulty of placing it in a more convenient place for the public is the steep grade throughout the whole length of the pass. | Mercury 1895-08-02(Transcribed by Colin J.
