The Hamilton and Northwestern Lines originally went across Southern Ontario from Hamilton to Barrie. They were then extended from Hamilton to Port Dover. This line was to provide Hamilton, at the head of Lake Ontario, with a broader hinterland, from Lake Erie to Lake Simcoe. Parts of this line are still in use but much has been abandoned. These pictures show various places and were taken over a 25 year period from about 1993.
Update May 2021. The north end of the track at Beeton operated by the South Simcoe Railway was sold and the track lifted so housing can be built.

Beach Sub Junction
This picture was taken in Burlington where the Beach Sub joins the main line Oakville Sub in October 1994.
The tracks were likely realigned in the mid 1960's when the Milton Sub was upgraded as the Halton Sub when the new Concord yard was opened.

Georgetown Trail
A trail that skirts to the west of Georgetown but east of Trafalgar Road had the appearance of an old railway right of way. This could be a spur of the HNW
