The Canada Atlantic Railway Company, the creation of lumber baron John Rudolphus Booth, was for a short period an important participant in the development of trans-Canada railway systems at the end of the 19th century. It existed from 1879 to 1914, and ran trains from 1890 to 1905 from Ottawa through to Vermont and from Ottawa west to Depot Harbour on Georgian Bay. For a short period it handled up to 40% of the grain traffic from the Canadian west through to the St. Lawrence River valley.
