The Erie and Ontario Railway was a railroad in Canada built between 1831 and 1841 to connect the towns of Queenston and Chippawa, Ontario. It was initially built as a horse-drawn railroad with wooden rails, and a gauge of 5 ft 6 in.[1] Established in 1831, the company constructed the first railroad in Ontario.[2]
