Canada's
Grand Trunk Railroad dates to 1852. Western extension reached Port Huron,
Mich., by 1858 and Chicago in 1880. GT's financial problems extending
Grand Trunk Pacific to Canadas west coast brought GT under government
ownership and into Canadian National in 1923. CN incorporated Grand Trunk
Western in 1928 to consolidate GT properties in Michigan, Indiana, and
Illinois. In 1970 CN created Grand Trunk Corp. to operate its three major
U.S. subsidiaries: GTW, DW&P, and CV. GTW still exists on paper but is
operated as part of Canadian National.
