In 1902, Moyes incorporated the Huron, Bruce and Grey Electric Railway and proceeded to lobby local municipalities for capital.
Goderich approved the $50,000 investment,[6] but the townships rejected the plan.
[7][8] In 1906, after the company was renamed the Ontario West Shore Railway, the municipalities provided funding for a single line extending from Goderich to Kincardine.
[9] By the end of summer 1911, the railroad was completed from Goderich to Kintail.
[10] At that point, one car of freight per day, mostly grain, was being loaded along the track.
