Great Western Road can mean:

Great Western 60

Great Western 60 is a 2-8-0 consolidation built in August 1937 by the American Locomotive Company in Schenectady, New York, and is currently operated on the Black River & Western Railroad (BR&W) in Ringoes, New Jersey.

60 originally operated on the Great Western Railroad (GW) in Colorado. During World War II, a smokebox extension was added to allow the use of poor quality coal because of war-time restrictions. In 1965, #60 was purchased by the newly formed short line Black River & Western for tourist excursions. Although she was used on off line excursions previously, the locomotive hauled its first train (on BR&W trackage) on May 17, 1965.

BR&W completed an intense 12-year overhaul project in August 2012 in time for #60's 75th birthday.

In 2013, #60 was painted into her late 1950s Great Western livery for a photo charter. The new paint scheme included the addition of white trim on the driving wheels and running board, and Aluminum paint on her smokebox (replacing graphite). Additionally, to commemorate Black River and Western's 50th Anniversary in 2015, the crew painted the number plate black and gold representing the "Golden Anniversary".

Great Western 90

Strasburg Rail Road no.90 (ex: Great Western) is a 2-10-0 steam locomotive operated by the Strasburg Rail Road, outside Strasburg, Pennsylvania. She was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1924, in Philadelphia PA. She originally pulled sugar beet trains of about 40 to 50 cars length for the Great Western Railway of Colorado to the company's towering mill in Loveland, Colorado. Before being sold to the Strasburg Railroad, #90 ran excursions on the GWR, and even met with Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy #5632, a 4-8-4, and CB&Q #902, a 2-10-2.Sadly, both CB&Q locomotives were scrapped when the CB&Q steam program ended. But in the late 1960s, #90 was invited to double head former Canadian Pacific, #1278. This was the last mainline excursion #90 would run so far.

List of roads in London, Ontario

The following is a List of the major roads in London, a major city in southwestern Ontario.

Adelaide Street

Adelaide Street is a north-south arterial road in London, Ontario, Canada.

Its northern terminus is at Highway 7. It runs through London where it is bisected into northern and southern halves by the south branch of the Thames River and ends at Commissioners Road East. It continues two kilometres south at Southdale Road East where it ends south of Newbold Street, just metres north of Highway 401.

History

The reason for the road interruption is because Westminster Ponds is situated between Commissioners and Southdale Roads.

In the early 1970s, there had existed plans to extend Adelaide as a four-lane road to meet with Pond Mills Road at Southdale using a CNR track's right-of-way, or to meet with its southern continuation. These plans were abandoned after Westminster Ponds were declared an environmentally significant area.

At the same time, transportation-oriented studies suggested that Adelaide Street South be connected with Exeter Road, the then-Highway 135. These plans have since been abandoned as Exeter Road was eventually connected to Highway 401 via a westbound-only interchange.
