The Nipissing Central Railway (NCR), sometimes known as the Temiskaming Streetcar Line, was a historical interurban streetcar system connecting New Liskeard, Haileybury and Cobalt on the western bank of Lake Temiskaming in northern Ontario. Streetcar operations began in 1910 and ceased in 1935. As the line had a federal charter, the operating company is used to this day to operate the Ontario Northland Railway spur line between Swastika, Ontario and Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, avoiding the need to re-charter either end.

“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
