| - The Northern and Pacific Junction Railway (N&PJ) is a historic railway located in northern Ontario, Canada. It connected the Northern Railway of Canada's endpoint in Gravenhurst to the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) at Nipissing Junction, near North Bay. The N&PJ provided an almost straight line north-south route from Toronto to the transcontinental line, competing with a similar line of the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) a short distance to the east. The railway was incorporated in 1881 as the Northern, North-Western, and Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company, changing its name to N&PJ in 1883. The railway was acquired by the Northern Railway of Canada and the Hamilton and North-Western Railway in 1883. Construction was commenced at Gravenhurst in 1885 and completed to a connection with the CPR in 1886, at which time the line was leased to its owners. Following the amalgamation of its owners with the Grand Trunk Railway in 1888, the N&PJ was merged with the GTR in 1892, which later became part of the Canadian National Railways. Principal stations along this route, from Gravenhurst are:
* Bracebridge
* Utterson
* Huntsville
* Novar
* Scotia Junction (connection to Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway)
* Emsdale
* Burk's Falls
* Sundridge
* South River
* Trout Creek
* Powassan
* Lake Nosbonsing Road (formerly Nosbonsing and Nipissing Railway)
* Callander
* Nipissing Junction (original 1886 connection with CPR, to North Bay station). (en)
