Fort Coulonge	Ottawa Citizen 10 December 1932 This refers to a story relating to the early days of the PP&J. At the time of the story there wasn't a water tank at Fort Coulonge and the engines had to be taken to a creek several miles past Fort Coulonge where water was siphoned into the engines.  The taking of the engines to the creek was the duty of the watchman, who was an ex-railroader.  The watering was done after hours. Fort Coulonge was then the terminus of the line. Note: The PP&J was opened from Shawville to Fort Coulonge in November 1886 Service between Fort Coulonge and Waltham commenced on  27 August 1894 (although the section was completed and rails were laid by  February 1888.)
