The Port Dover & Lake Huron Railway Company was formed in 1872 and completed from Port Dover via Simcoe to Woodstock by the end of 1875. It passed out of Norfolk County at La Salette, intersecting there with the Canada Southern Railway. In 1876, the line was opened further to Stratford, and the "Lake Huron" component (actually Harriston, Chesley and Wiarton) of the route was completed by means of the Stratford & Lake Huron Railway, which leased its operations to the PD&LH. This line was amalgamated, along with many other independent roads, into the Grand Trunk Railway, which became part of Canadian National Railways in 1920. Part of the line survives as the The Hickson Trail, while the rest of the railway, save for a short stretch in Woodstock, has been abandoned. Operations along the route between Port Dover and Woodstock had ceased by 1965, and in many cases, much earlier.
