It was followed by the Albion Railway in Stellarton, Nova Scotia in 1840, a collier railway connecting coal mines to a seaport. File Samsonloco.jpg thumb 200px left The Albion Railway s Samson locomotive Samson locomotive, the oldest surviving locomotive in Canada Heavy expansion of the rail system did not get under way until the Guarantee Act of 1849 that guaranteed bond returns on all railways over 75 miles. This led to rapid expansion of railway in the Canadas, sometimes excessive growth as uneconomic lines were built since the government guaranteed profits. This proved disastrous for government finances, however, and the Canadas were all but bankrupted by the subsidies. The largest rail project of this period was also a disaster. The Grand Trunk Railway linking Montreal to Sarnia, Ontario Sarnia was finished in 1860, but was vastly mired in debt. In exchange for bailing out the company the government escaped its guarantee on the railway bonds. Canadian confederation was in part brought about by the railways. The local governments had all but emptied their treasuries building railways, and a new and more stable method of financing them was required. It was also believed that union would allow for the needed construction of railroads linking British North America . The Maritimes joined largely because of promises to build the Intercolonial Railway , and British Columbia only because of a promise to build a transcontinental railroad. The government had learnt its lesson and these railways were not funded by guarantees. Rather, the construction of the Intercolonial was fully controlled by the government under the skilled direction of Sir Sandford Fleming . The railway to ... more details

History Tracing its roots to the forestry and railway industries, Canterbury was once was home to over 1000 residents and served as a service centre for the surrounding area of western York County. There were at least three general stores, a small department store, a railway hotel, bank, and a butcher as late as the mid 1960s, all gone now. Early settlers of the area were Loyalists possibly disbanded soldiers of the King s American Regiment and their families displaced by the end of the American Revolution 1780s later augmented by immigrants from Ireland Ulster and Donegal, circa 1840 or so . In the winter of 1865, Canterbury was briefly the focus of much military activity when some 9000 British troops passed through the village on their way to The Canadas Ontario and Quebec . The British government had become alarmed about the possibility of an American invasion following the end of the American Civil War and sent this military contingent to reinforce the garrisons in The Canadas. As it was winter, the shipping season in the St. Lawrence River was closed leaving overland travel from British colonies in the Maritimes as the only option. The closest rail connection to Quebec from the Atlantic coast in the 1860s was the New Brunswick and Canada Railway line extending from the port of St. Andrews, New Brunswick St. Andrews through Canterbury to the end of rails in nearby Richmond Corner, New Brunswick Richmond Corner .
