e/Toronto Belt Line Railway

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The Toronto Belt Line Railway was built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the 1890s by a railway entrepreneur, James David Edgar. It was constructed as a commuter railway line to service and promote suburban neighbourhoods just subdivided north of the city limits. It ran through the communities that eventually became Rosedale, Moore Park, Forest Hill, and Swansea. The railroad was necessary because many of the current bridges did not exist at time, and access to areas like Moore Park was very difficult, requiring repeated trips up and down steep ravine roads. Belt Line Railway brochures used Spring Valley instead of Mud Creek as the name for what is now Moore Park Ravine.
