The Canada Southern railway, incorporated in 1867 with 10 million dollars capital, plans to run from Fort Erie to Amherstburg Ontario. It claims a 28 mile shorter Buffalo to Chicago link with 96 percent of the line straight and no grade above 15 feet per mile. The Amherstburg Buffalo segment, 225 miles, opened in 1874, while the Chicago and Canada Southern branch runs 70 miles from Grosse Isle to Fayette, though the line was interrupted by the panic era.
