This book details the reconnaissance and construction of the Toronto and Guelph Railway between November 1851 and May 1852, with a particular focus on the engineering challenges and debates over the most viable and cost-effective route for the line. The author, an engineer employed by the railway company, meticulously documents the various proposed routes, including surveys of the surrounding topography, estimations of grading costs, and comparisons of potential ascents to the heights separating Toronto and Guelph. Detailed tables provide insights into the engineering considerations, including gradients, excavation quantities, and crossing structures.
