Well it's time to continue our sojourn eastward on the high iron for the Lakehead. We go 146 mi. to the next divisional point at Ignace, then another 147 mi. onto Thunder Bay. Thunder Bay was formerly the twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur both are large shipping points for grain from the Prairies that is going to eastern markets starting here at Lake Superior and through the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Timothy E. Eaton started a department store in Toronto, with a large mail-order warehouse out of Winnipeg that supplied the prairie provinces. He soon had outlet stores in every major city across Canada. He was much like R. W. Sears in his marketing, and he became a Canadian institution. He sold railway grade pocket watches in his stores and through his catalogs. They included the Waltham CPRs and CRTS models.
