Excerpt from Railways to Grey: Being a Letter to the Warden, Reeves and Deputy Reeves, of the South Riding of the County of Grey
The Great Western of England, otherwise one of the most magnificent Railway properties in the world, has been ruined by the isolation resulting from its exceptional gauge, and the mistake is now being repaired at enormous cost, by adopting the universal gauge of the country. The Great Western Rail way of Canada has just laid' down a third rail throughout its entire length (229 miles) from Niagara Bridge to Windsor, in, order to assimilate its gauge with the American lines of New York and Michigan, and thus avoid transhipment and the Ottawa and Prescott Railway is at this moment suffering grievous loss, arising from its isolated gauge.
