| 1891? | William H. Taylor recalled the picnic excursions to Clark's Island, opposite Valleyfield, "back in the gay nineties": he "fired the engine which pulled the train of twenty-two coaches on the first of those jolly excursions about the year 1891". The engine was decked with flags and bunting, with crowds at every station; Herman Kirk was engineer, and Jimmy Dean, overseer of the company water service, canvassed merchants so that "there was never a lack of prizes". "Each and every one of those picnics was a decided success." Filed on Valleyfield at the operator's direction (Clark's Island is basically Valleyfield). | Ottawa Citizen 1937-07-31(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) | |
| 1899-07 | In reference to complain of G.M.Loy of Valleyfield that the CA crossing on Grand Ile road, Valleyfield was in dangerous condition, Messrs Bethune and Mountain on behalf of the railway stated that the cause of the complaint would be removed. | CRSW p207 |
