• Note*: 4 November 1856; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; “The most far reaching event of this year was the coming of the railroad. Monroe Lawson was one of the few people still living in 1936 who saw the entrance of the first G.T.R. train. His nephew E. C. Guilett relates Mr. Lawson’s experiences in The Brighton Ensign of July 31st, 1931: He watched the workmen surveying for the Grand Truck Railway and his brother Clinton helped clear the way for the roadbed. The land was purchased from the settlers and the timber given to them for clearing it. Contracts for the railroad were let by sections and local labor aided by a gang of Irish workmen prepared the roadbed. Horse scrapers were used for all the grading and parts of the line were ready for use in 1855. Mr. Lawson well remembers climbing to the roof to see the first train of gravel cars pass through the farm, the line had been completed to Kingston in 1853 and in October 1856 all was in readiness for the first through train from Toronto to Montreal. Local celebrations had been held from time to time as sections of the line were completed but a crowd was assembled at every station on October 27, 1856, when the first train passed through. Probably no event in Canadian history had ever created such public enthusiasm as the completion of the Grand Trunk Railway. A two-day celebration was held in Montreal; about 8,000 attended the grand ball where “the ladies hoops suffered considerably”; and nearly a mile of tablecloth and 44,000 knives, forks, tumblers and wine glassed were needed for a huge banquet in the Company’s new workshop at Point St. Charles." from page 323 of The Tobey Book, Brighton Public Library.¹¹
