Whitney and Opeongo Railway

It ran from Opeongo Lake to Whitney, where it connected to the Canada Atlantic Railway (CAR), running a total distance of about 14 miles (23 km).

[1] The mill was a major stop on the CAR,[a] with an extensive switch yard extending on the south side of town along the east bank of Galeairy Lake.

[3] The railway was heralded as a "revolution" in the lumber industry, reducing the time to get logs to the mills to twenty-four hours, where it used to take as long as six months.

In 1933 the CAR was severed between Two Rivers and Algonquin Park Station when a trestle washed out, reportedly due to the construction of a beaver dam.

This gave the W&OR wye at Whitney a new life as the main turnaround point for trains on the eastern end of the CAR.

On the western side of Costello it turned north-northwest until ending at Sproule Bay, the southernmost point on Opeongo Lake.
