- Notes
- The Cobourg & Peterborough railroad opened with great fanfare in 1854 and was plagued with problems ever after particularily with this bridge over Rice Lake. In 1861 the bridge completely collapsed during the winter. At the same time Port Hope completed a line to Peterborough skirting around the lake and obviously got the frieght and passenger business
