With the CNR takeover, the railway now had two routes into Collingwood. The value of this route made them a takeover target, and the entire network was purchased by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1888, eventually becoming part of the Canadian National Railway (CNR) in 1923. Flush with cash from the merger, the new company built the Northern and Pacific Junction Railway to the CPR at North Bay in 1886. Both railways saw their ultimate role as a connection between the Toronto area and the newly completely Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) mainline across northern Ontario. To everyone's surprise, in June 1879 the H&NW merged with its supposed competitor to become the Northern and North-Western Railway. The entire line was officially opened in December 1879, although it had been operational for some time at that point. Major construction began in 1876, officially reaching Barrie on 1 December 1877, and Collingwood in 1879. Construction began in 1874 but economic troubles delayed it for the next two years. Towns along the H&NW route put up bonuses for construction in the hopes that it would lead to lower prices. The H&NW was formed to compete with the Northern Railway of Canada, which ran from Toronto to Barrie and then onto Collingwood. Through the purchase of the Hamilton and Lake Erie Railway, the route continued south from Hamilton to Port Dover on Lake Erie. It ran north from Hamilton on the western end of Lake Ontario to Collingwood on Georgian Bay and Barrie on Lake Simcoe. The Hamilton and North-Western Railway ( H&NW) is a former railway in Ontario, Canada.
