I don't know if Dominion Construction Co. was involved in the building of the Canadian Northern Railway. Most of the work was done as you say by Foley Bros. There were subcontractors that built the grade, I believe Johnson Brothers were subcontractors on the Canadian Northern east (north) of Nipigon.

ReplyDeleteAbout 1992 I was researching some history of industrial railways in Ontario, at the Archives of Ontario, when I came upon a list of some 15 steam locomotives used at the Alexander Falls during the construction of the Hydro dam in the 1920s. Most of the same locomotives were used on the Abitibi Canyon Hydro Dam that was built by Dominion Construction Co. 1930-1932.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am not trying to suggest that Dominion Construction was a contractor on the Alexander Falls Hydro Dam, it seems more likely that these photos showing the equipment of Dominion Construction, relate to the construction of the H.E.P.C. plant than of the railway, although Dominion Construction Co. were railway builders too.
Northern Railway, I think you mean Canadian Northern Railway. There were other railways in Canada with Northern in their title, but they were in no way connected to the Canadian Northern which was the name of the railway that ran from Hornepayne to Port Arthur.
