Northern and Central Ontario in the 1930s and 1940s, since the timber was readily available nearby and the guide rails required few manufactured parts for assembly.

route of Hwy 41 between Eganville and Pembroke. See an Enlarged Photo here. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 1978) |
