X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Before the arrival of the railroads\, loca
 l growth and development in Lambton County was at a standstill with the ma
 rshy land was not attractive to new settlers. This all changed in 1858 wit
 h the arrival of the Grand Trunk Railroad and the first commercial oil wel
 l dug by James Miller Williams starting production in Oil Springs\, Ontari
 o. The Black Gold Rush started attracting men from all over to seek their 
 fortunes in the booming oil industry. Problems arose from lack of infrastr
 ucture on how to get this valuable product out of the swamps of Lambton. I
 n this talk we will look at how the booming oil industry and railroads are
  intrinsically linked in Lambton County spurring development from the buil
 ding of the private Petrolia Spur line to the St Clair Tunnel to the USA.&
