The South Norfolk Railway was incorporated in 1886, to construct a railway from Simcoe, Ontario to Port Rowan, Ontario.[1]
Summary
In 1887, the station was acquired by Grand Trunk Railway and was absorbed into their railway network.[2]
Simcoe was already connected to the railway system by other railways.[3] The South Norfolk Railway had intermediate stations at Vittoria, Walsh and Forestville. The proximity of Walsh's railway station to Young's Creek brought extra economical advantages to flour and lumber mills operating in the region. From a geographical perspective, Young's Creek originates about four kilometers northwest of the Walsh and passes through the village along with Vittoria before discharging into Lake Erie, 11 km away in Port Ryerse.[4]
