Extra Credit LII “A weekend of hiking on the Grand Trunk Pacific, Part I”

14 Feb

Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

This unique episode was recorded over Thanksgiving weekend in October 2025. It is a documentation of several days of driving, hiking and exploring of the former Grand Trunk Pacific Lake Superior Division, later CN Graham Subdivision, near Silver Dollar, Ontario. Staying at the Silver Dollar Inn, Luna and I recorded the railway grade from Selwyn Lake to Eva Lake and then some. This was my first attempt at this type of video and with any luck, there will be a Part 2 and 3 as we will be returning to Silver Dollar in the fall of 2026 to resume explorations.
Enjoy!

      Thanks. I was very busy last year. Plenty already planned for this year. I’ve booked the Silver Dollar for a while week this time, so hopefully I can get everything I want to done without rushing.
