G T R plans new Camp Borden rail spur and service
Rumors suggest the Grand Trunk will add a Camp Borden aviation spur branching near Tioga from the Beeton Collingwood line. Improvements to the Bee ton Collingwood route will enable all land passenger traffic to Camp Borden and a summer schedule from Allandale to Collingwood. There is also talk of deeper harbor navigation at Collingwood to attract ships and possibly a new line of boats or integration with existing services.
