So Dale is right. The Northern Railway that became part of the GTR had
nothing whatever to do with the Canadian Northern Railway, founded almost 20
years later.

The Barrie line (according to the book "Lines of Country - Plates 20 &21)
was laid as Northern Ry, and between 1879-1888 merged with the Hamilton &
Northwestern then the combined lines were taken over by GTR.

Peter;
There was also an interlocking tower in Toronto on CP's North
Toronto Sub where it crossed the CN's line to Barrie. This was
originally the Canadian Northern line (a CN-O&Q crossing).
