Ontario Car Ferry "Ontario" No. 1

The Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway, in conjunction with the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, operated the Ontario Car Ferry Co. Limited which run car ferries between Charlotte, New York and Cobourg, Ontario. The operation began on November 19, 1907 when Ontario No. 1 left Rochester and arrived in Cobourg five hours later to a royal reception. The Ontario No. 1 could hold 28 loaded coal cars and up to 1000 passengers. It was joined in 1915 by a sister ship, Ontario No. 2, and the ships operated until 1950.
