QRD
>L&PS built in the 1850s between London, Ontario and Port Stanley on Lake Erie>electrified in the 1910s and turned into an electric interurban>passenger service ended in 1957, section between London and St. Thomas (about 3/4 of the way to Port Stanley) was eventually taken over by CN>track between St. Thomas and Port Stanley was abandoned, and eventually rebuilt by volunteers, now operates as the Port Stanley Terminal Railway, offering tourist excursions using small diesel locos.>track is interrupted at Port Stanley, part of it was rebuilt in 2013, now the town is in talks with CN to reconnect both parts of the line>if this goes through, the L&PS railway will exist once again in its entirety, initial project is for tourist trains running the whole original routewe could witness what might be a rare rebirth of an interurban
