The Bruce Railways list [BruceRys] specializes in the discussion of the
Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways' branchline network in
Midwestern Ontario. The list, originally known as the CPR Bruce Branches list,
offered subscribers a place to discuss the CPR rail lines from Streetsville
through Orangeville to Owen Sound as well as the branches to Elora, Bolton,
Walkerton and Teeswater. The expanded list adds coverage of the CNR's Meaford,
Alliston, Milton/Beeton subs in the east, the CPR's Goderich and Listowel subs
in the south as well as the CNR's Goderich, Newton, Kincardine,
Southampton/Fergus, Durham, Owen Sound and Wiarton subdivisions. It is this
branchline trackage that is the primary focus of this list.
There are some good (but unfortunately mostly out-of-print) books available on
the history of the CNR and CPR Bruce branches, but there's always more info
that we modelers and/or railfans need. That's where the BruceRys list comes in.
It is our hope that this will be an active forum for sharing news and
information on the Bruce Branches for the benefit of historians, railfans and
modelers alike. We expect that the content of your posts will be as
wide-ranging and interesting as that found on other major lists.
In addition, as a member of the BruceRys list, you have access to the ONElist
"Member Center" for the list which allows for upcoming calendar events to be
posted - and shared files (photos, maps, drawings, etc.) to be uploaded and
viewed by all BruceRys subscribers.
If this sounds like your "cup o'tea", then we'd be pleased to have you come
aboard. We hope you find the list informative!
