The author also wishes to thank David Henderson at Railfare DC books and Cheryl Hawley at Dundurn Press for transforming computer files and a collection of photographs and digital scans into a finished product of which we all can be proud. Dede Johnston, word processor extraordinaire, did a masterful job in preparing the manuscript in its entirety for subsequent production into the finished product, a feat for which I am truly grateful.

In this book, pounds sterling (£) are expressed as British units. Since Canada did not have the dollar as a form of currency until 1858, all dollars are expressed as United States units up to and including the year 1857, while Canadian units are used from the year 1858 and thereafter. Unless otherwise specified, all municipalities associated with the Great Western Railway are in the province of Ontario while those associated with the Detroit and Milwaukee/Detroit, Grand Haven, and Milwaukee railways are in the state of Michigan.
