Port Arthur, Duluth and Western Railway
- Port Arthur, Duluth and Western Railway
The Port Arthur, Duluth and Western Railway (PADW) is a historic Canadian railway that operated in northwestern Ontario.
The PADW was built in 1889 [ [http://home.primus.ca/~robkath/railpad.htm Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Railway ] ] by investors interested in extracting the mineral and timber wealth of the Whitefish River Valley, Silver Mountain Range and beyond into the Boundary Waters region [ [http://www.members.shaw.ca/padwrr/home.htm home ] ] .
The line originated at Port Arthur in the east, ran through Fort William and onward to the International Boundary with the United States. The PADW was constructed with the intention of connecting to an affiliated railroad in Minnesota to provide a route to Duluth, however this section was not built.
The PADW was abandoned in sections, ultimately fully closed in 1938. [ [http://home.primus.ca/~robkath/railpad.htm Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Railway ] ]
