#OTD in 1856, the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) was completed from Guelph to Stratford, Ontario 🚆 (with the last stretch from St. Mary’s to Sarnia finished on November 21). The GTR had a significant role in propelling economic development in Canada forward. For a time, it was the world’s largest railway system, and it took a massive workforce to keep the project on track.
