Excerpt from The Railway Policy of the Government of Quebec: Being a Review of the Reports of the Railway Commissioners, and of Mr. Walter Shanly, in Relation Thereto; In a Series of Letters Heretofore Written and Published When, in 1871 and 1872, I undertook the Herculean task of bringing the North Shore Railway undertaking to the favorable notice of the Public and of Capitalists, my location, plans, and estimates of its cost, were based upon the most direct practicable route that could be obtained between the cities of Quebec and Montreal. And my esti mates of its future earnings, which were the means of inducing Railway men and Capitalists to undertake its construction, were based upon the assumed fact, that, by reason of its being, by far, the shortest, cheapest, and most direct route, it would always be able to compete successfully with the Grand Trunk Railway for the business between Quebec, Montreal, and the great South and West. And it is very well known that the parties who were engaged in its con struction, previous to its coming under Government control; would have fully succeeded in their object, had it not been for the steady and unrelenting Opposition of the Grand Trunk.
