Kingston and Pembroke Railway
- Kingston and Pembroke Railway
The Kingston and Pembroke Railway is a historic Canadian railway that operated in eastern Ontario.
Incorporated in 1871, the K&P was intended to run from Kingston to Pembroke. By 1884, approximately 180 kilometres of mainline and sidings had been laid, reaching Renfrew. By this time the Canada Central Railway had already built a line from Renfrew to Pembroke, and it no longer made financial sense to continue. Thus the K&P was terminated at Renfrew.
In 1919 the Canadian Pacific Railway leased the K&P for 999 years. CPR abandoned rail service on the line in 1986.
The K&P is affectionately remembered as the "kick and push" railroad.
The line has been converted to a rail trail for hiking enthusiasts - see K&P Rail Trail.
