The rail trail that goes up the east side of the mountain was the old Hamilton and Lake Erie line that went to Port Dover. The chedoke rail trail was the TH&B line to Brantford which was eventually abandoned after the Cainsville fill section just sank into the ground one day. The Hamilton and Brantford electric railway also ran along there.
Hamilton to Brantford could be done by following the tracks used by VIA that join up just past the Desjardins Canal bridge.
Does anyone know if there ever was a connection between Hamilton and Guelph, Cambridge or K/W?
