Rare view of TH&B passenger train in ~1925 a Freeman Stn. I found this real photo postcard and Bryce Lee bought it for his collection. It was the last restoration/history project we worked on before he passed away in 2019. A full size image in memory of Bryce can be seen on display at the Freeman Station Museum Burlington.https://www.freemanstation.ca/

Initially service over the portage was provided using buckboards to convey passengers and cargo. A portage railway from Peninsula Lake to Lake of Bays was proposed by the Huntsville and Lake of Bays Transportation Company and in 1900 the Huntsville and Lake of Bays Railway Company was incorporated by a separate charter to build an electric or steam railway, over the portage.In 1900 the Huntsville and Lake of Bays Transportation Company changed its title to Huntsville and Lake of Bays Navigation Company. In 1902 this company was dissolved and a new charter was obtained as the Huntsville and Lake of Bays and Lake Simcoe Navigation Company Limited.Work had not commenced on the portage railway by this time, although its charter stipulated the undertaking was to be started within three years and completed within seven. The Navigation Company took on the task of building the railway, starting in September 1902. Trains were operating after the close of navigation season in 1904, however, passenger service over the line was not available until 1905. The railway ended up as narrow gauge because rolling stock was purchased second hand from E.B. Eddy of Hull, Quebec.

four engines, 1100-1103, were lightweight as 4-8-4s go, built by CLC in 1936-37. They powered the railway's Northland passenger train between North Bay and Cochrane, Ontario. None survived. This photograph was is poor condition when originally restored the old fashioned way in the darkroom back in the '70s. Latest restoration is done digitally with photoshop. Hope you like it.
