Canada Railways Push Ahead With Wartime Construction Plans
Wartime conditions do not halt major rail projects as Canada’s three railways press on with long term builds. Grand Trunk Pacific reports ballast work west of Prince George nearing completion by mid November with key bridge work near Prince Rupert nearly finished. Canadian Pacific concentrates on existing graded steel and a tunnel in the Selkirks while Kootenay Central and Kettle Valley lines advance toward next year. Canadian National notes limited untracked mainline gaps and a January milestone for main line completion in British Columbia. London financial improvements are tied to continued progress and no new expansion while Sir William Mackenzie foresees no halt to the current year’s programme.
