Its north-south mainline is located entirely in Ontario , and has a southern terminus at North Bay , passing through Cochrane , and a northern terminus at Moosonee , several miles south of the shore of James Bay . An east-west secondary mainline connects Calstock (near Hearst ) with Cochrane and a line extends from Swastika (south of Cochrane) into the neighbouring province of Quebec where it terminates at Rouyn-Noranda . The railway's branch from Swastika to Rouyn-Noranda , including 40 kilometres of track in Québec, are operated by a subsidiary , the Nipissing Central Railway . Originally built to develop the Lake Timiskaming and Lake Nipissing areas, this railway soon became a major factor in the economic growth of the province. After decades of hard construction through the Canadian Shield it reached James Bay in 1932. While blasting the route through the shield, geologists discovered vast deposits of valuable minerals such as gold , silver , copper and nickel . The railway also made it possible to exploit the vast timber resources of Northern Ontario . The importance of the ONR is witnessed by the vast increase in mineral exploration and exploitation, giving rise to the valuable mining stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange and indirectly leading to Southern Ontario 's economic boom during the 1970s. The railway was incorporated as the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway on March 17, 1902 by an act of the Ontario parliament , the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Act . The railway was to be a provincial Crown corporation overseen by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Commission. Construction on the railway started in 1903, and the settlement of Redwater in the municipality of Temagami began as a small request stop when the railway reached the area of the Lower and Upper Redwater lakes. As it passed by Long Lake , near the 103 mile marker, the largest silver rush in Canada was sparked by workers looking for trees for railway ties. The town of Cobalt, Ontario grew out of the fortunes of silver taken from the grounds. By 1905, it reached New Liskeard in the Lake Timiskaming area. The railway reached Englehart in 1906, and Cochrane in 1909. In the next few years, several branch lines were built. In 1921, construction on a line north to James Bay was started. In 1923, the new Conservative premier of Ontario , Howard Ferguson , halted further construction, stating that it would be unprofitable. For four years the terminus of the line remained at Fraserdale , near Abitibi Canyon , where the Abitibi Canyon Generating Station was being built on the Abitibi River . Between 1928 and 1930 the railway was extended north at a slow pace. The pace of construction was quickened in 1930 as a make-work project due to the depression. The extension to James Bay was opened on July 15, 1932. The terminu... read more
