My son camps on Lake Rideau and a friend of his works for this road. When he heard that I'm a trainhead he gave my son an engineers hat with OCR on it. What is the name of the Railroad??[?]

The Ottawa Central is a short line which has a line to Pembroke Ontario (82 mi.) and running rights on the VIA Rail Alexandria sub to connect with their Vankleek sub (21 mi)which runs to the town of Hawksbury Ontario. It also has a 25 mi connection to Renfrew ON.

Hi Grinandbearit
Wow! Thank you for the informative reply. It's good news that short lines are alive and it explaines why Canadian truckers I've met don"t know about it. Thank you again. Ilike your handle.
