Grand Trunk Railway (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Die Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) ist eine ehemalige Eisenbahngesellschaft in Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten. Der Sitz der Gesellschaft befand sich in London in England, die Verwaltung jedoch in Montreal. Sie bestand von 1852 bis 1923. (de)
The Grand Trunk Railway ((reporting mark GT); French: Grand Tronc) was a railway system that operated in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and in the American states of Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The railway was operated from headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, with corporate headquarters in London, United Kingdom (4 Warwick House Street). It cost an estimated $160 million to build. The Grand Trunk, its subsidiaries, and the Canadian Government Railways were precursors of today's Canadian National Railway. GTR's main line ran from Portland, Maine to Montreal, and then from Montreal to Sarnia, Ontario, where it joined its western subsidiary. The GTR had four important subsidiaries during its lifetime: * which operated in Quebec, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. * Central Vermont Railway which operated in Quebec, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. * Grand Trunk Pacific Railway which operated in Northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. * Grand Trunk Western Railroad which operated in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. A fifth subsidiary was the never-completed Southern New England Railway, chartered in 1910, which would have run from a connection with the Central Vermont at Palmer, Massachusetts, to the deep-water, all-weather port of Providence, Rhode Island. A new line to Providence would have allowed for more extensive port facilities than were possible for the Central Vermont at New London, Connecticut. Construction began in 1910 and continued in fits and starts for more than 20 years until finally abandoned in the early 1930s because of the Great Depression. The loss of the SNER's strongest proponent, Grand Trunk Railway president Charles Melville Hays, on RMS Titanic in 1912 may have been the major reason that this new route to the sea was never completed. Another important factor was the unrelenting opposition of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which fiercely protected its virtual monopoly control of rail traffic in southern New England.

Grand Trunk Railway (GT) era una compagnia ferroviaria canadese che gestiva una propria rete nelle province del Québec e dell'Ontario, e negli stati statunitensi del Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire e Vermont. La sede operativa della compagnia era Montréal ma gli uffici direzionali erano a Londra. Grand Trunk e le sue controllate confluirono in Canadian National Railway nel 1923. La direttrice principale GTR era la Portland-Montreal con la prosecuzione Montreal-Sarnia (Ontario), dove si collegava alla sua sussidiaria occidentale. (it)
Grand Trunk Railway (GT) (рус. «Гранд транк рейлуэй», с англ. — «Великая железнодорожная магистраль») — канадская железнодорожная компания, обслуживавшая также отдельные регионы США. Корпорация GT создана в 1852 году, управляемая ею железнодорожная сеть долгое время оставалась крупнейшей в Восточной Канаде, а в дальнейшем были приобретены значительные участки железнодорожных путей в западной части страны. Несмотря на объём операций, GT оставалась убыточной на протяжении большей части своей истории, пережила банкротство и в 1923 году была поглощена государственной компанией Canadian National Railways.
