this is my first time on the forum.
does anyone know if the Grant Trunk Railroad had two separate lines on the beach? one from Burlington to Stoney Creek, and the other, the former Hamilton and Northwestern Railroad, and the North and Northwestern Railroad?

Hi David

Welcome to the Forum and finally your first post.
I only remember one rail line on the Hamilton side of the Beach, I have seen pictures with two lines on the Burlington side but there was only one on the swing bridge.
However, looking at the early 1900's picture of the house at 771 Beach Blvd (The Alps) there looks to be a rail line in front of the house, this was most likely the radial line.
