Summary

Description
English: The Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway crossed the Brockville and Ottawa Railway (Canadian Pacific Railway) line just west of Renfrew, Ontario at the diamond crossing seen in this image. The site of fights between the two companies during construction, the junction was the site of more than one collision during its lifetime.

This image was reported in the Ottawa Evening Journal on 10 December 1906, reporting on an event that occurred on the 8th. The paper read:

There was a collision at Renfrew Saturday evening between two freight trains, one belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway and the other to the Grand Trunk. No one was hurt and the only damage consisted in the smashing of two C.P.R. freight cars and the derailing of the G.T.R. engine. The smashup delayed traffic on the G.T.R for some hours. The C.P.R. freight was on the diamond at Renfrew and the G.T.R. train was going east. Previous to the collision the C.P.R. train was divided but when the smash came was all coupled together. The cars struck by the engine were all loaded with cement.
