Booth's trains will go at sixty miles per hour or he shall have no use for them [Renfrew Mercury, 1893-08-23].

He considered the railway to be only the beginning of the larger enterprise of connecting the west with the east, and anticipated the elevator construction and steamship fleet acquisition as the next steps in the scheme.
