===Railways=== [[File:GoderichCPRStation.jpg|thumb|CPR station]] The [[Goderich-Exeter Railway]] currently operates freight service to Goderich. The line was built by the [[Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway]] in 1859.<ref name=railbuf> {{cite web |url = http://home.primus.ca/~robkath/railbuf.htm |title = The B&LHR |access-date = 2007-04-24 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070517150302/http://home.primus.ca/~robkath/railbuf.htm |archive-date = 2007-05-17 }}</ref> The railway was soon taken over by the [[Grand Trunk Railway]], later [[Canadian National Railway|CN]]. In 1992, the line was sold to the GEXR. The [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] built its own line, the [[ Guelph and Goderich Railway]], into Goderich in 1907.<ref name=stops> {{cite web |url = http://www.stopsalonglakehuron.com/menesetung.htm |title = Stops along Lake Huron |access-date = 2007-04-24 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061219163242/http://www.stopsalonglakehuron.com/menesetung.htm |archive-date = 2006-12-19 }}</ref> Passenger service ran until the 1960s. The entire line was abandoned in 1989.<ref name=gart>Informational plaque along the Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail.</ref> The trestle crossing over the Maitland River was converted through public fund-raising into a public walkway, offering views of the harbour, Maitland Valley golf course and the river valley itself. The [[Ontario West Shore Railway]] started to build a railway from Goderich to [[Kincardine, Ontario|Kincardine]] in 1909, but it was never completely opened.<ref name=jan4>The Signal (Goderich), January 4, 1912.</ref>
