Salmon Pack Set Records Amid Rail Movement
The salmon pack of British Columbia reached a record last year while the Canadian National secured its full share of rail movement. Vancouver steamers carried much of this traffic and operated routes to Montreal in summer and to Halifax and St John in winter. Through Prince Rupert Alaska origin tonnage moved to US points via CN ships, with frozen fish also traveling to US destinations. Dairy products moved in fair quantities to export markets via the Atlantic seaboard, with Alberta cars shipped refrigerated to Great Britain and butter sent to the Orient.
