	Transit Toronto - Content: The North Yonge Extensions
		The first appearance of the North Yonge extension was in the draft Metropolitan Official Plan in 1959 which suggested an extension from Eglinton to Sheppard.
		When the Yonge subway was extended to Finch Avenue, one year later, the 97 Yonge bus was extended to Steeles Avenue, and the North Yonge bus was cut back to Finch station.
		The Metropolitan interurban took passengers from North Toronto all the way to the shores of Lake Simcoe, and the North Yonge Railways were a major operation serving the townships of North York, Vaughan, Markham and the town of Richmond Hill until 1948.

	History of the Toronto Transit Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Outside of the city, transit connection to the suburbs were known as 'radial railways' (because their lines radiated from Toronto), among them the Toronto and York Radial Railway and the Toronto Suburban Railway.
		The original Union Station-to-Eglinton section of the Yonge Street subway, Canada's first, was conceived and built with revenues gained during the war, when gas rationing limited the use of automobiles.
		Changes to the composition of the Metro Toronto council moved the balance of power towards the suburban areas, and soon afterwards in 1973 the Yonge subway line was extended north to York Mills Road, and the next year it was as far north as Finch Avenue.

	North Bay Ontario: VintagePostcards.org: Vintage Postcards & Old Antique Postcards
		While the village of North Bay began as a trading center in 1851 and was chosen as the Nipissing District seat in 1858, rapid growth didn’t occur until about the time that William A. Ramsey, chief surveyor for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) mapped the railroad’s path in 1881.
		North Bay as we know it today was founded in December 1882, when 19-year-old John Ferguson, a Scotsman who delivered mail for the CPR, arrived via the CPR’s “Lucy Dalton” train on the north bay of Lake Nipissing.
		Due to its fortuitous location, the CPR chose North Bay as a home terminus and divisional point on the transcontinental line and thus additional facilities such as the roundhouse, storage, maintenance and repair facilities, a coal depot and additional facilities not usually found at smaller stopping points were built.

	The Toronto & York Radial Railway
		The rejuvenated line, known as the North Yonge Railways, operated until October 1948 when all operations were finally suspended and the rails removed.
		History: Chartered in 1896 by a local Schomberg businessman to construct a railway from Schomberg to a point at or near the community of Aurora, the Schomberg and Aurora Railway (SandAR) was an oddity in that it contemplated a steam operation connecting with a radial line.
		The railway was absorbed into the Toronto Railway Company in March 1895 and then became part of the Toronto and York Radial Railway Company in 1904 as the Scarboro Division.

		Route of the solitary horseback rider and pioneer settler's wagon in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the thoroughfare had thrived with the stagecoach era of the 1830s and 1840s, survived the challenge of the steam railway in the 1850s, incorporated the electric railway in the 1890s, and now it embraced the automobile.
		Yonge Street strip development was less intense north of town, yet there, too, the automobile helped to obliterate distances and drew once-scattered communities closer together.

	Impressions of the West and South during a six weeks' holiday. : a machine-readable transcription.
		Originally the Chicago railway transposed its passengers to boats, but owing to the shallow water between Alton and St. Louis, there was much annoyance and detention of passengers; and much to my disappointment we passed along the Terre Haute railway to Illinois City, a village opposite St. Louis.
		In the North we have heard that it is absolutely necessary to carry arms in the public thoroughfares, that there were constant disturbances, and a stranger had to be more than usually prudent in order to avoid quarrels.
		The evidence of this may be seen in British North America, even at this day, after all the lessons which history has taught; and that such was the case in the American struggle is impossible to be denied; and the rencontre between Grant and Middleton led to bitterness and passion which never passed away.
