End of The Line and Rebirth
By the early 1950s, the road network improved to make the journey by steamboat unnecessary. The company continued to operate the portage railway and some of the steamboats as tourist attractions but by the end of the decade, aging equipment made the operation unprofitable. Service ended in 1960.
In 1984, a group of local railway enthusiasts got together to restore the railway portion of the company. The Huntsville and Lake of Bays Railway Society operates a short run railway as a tourist attraction.

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or rebirth:
“Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
—John Briley (b. 1925)
