context_page_description: The Nosbonsing and Nipissing Railway was a portage railway constructed by Ottawa lumber baron John Rudolphus Booth. The 5.5 miles line connected Lake Nipissing with Lake Nosbonsing to allow lumber to be portaged onto the Mattawa River, and from there to the Ottawa River. It allowed timber from a wide area across central Ontario to be sent to Booth's mill in Ottawa, at that time the largest sawmill in the world.
