Railways Prove Critics Wrong Across Canada
Cyril Young of the Canadian National Railways notes that vast tracts along the transcontinental line earn operating surpluses while spurring settlement and industry. Ottawa advances branch lines in Western Canada, Ontario pushes north toward Hudson Bay, and Saskatchewan plans about 500 miles of new branches in 1928. The nation builds toward a three-ocean commerce and a stronger, self reliant future. Canada’s railways are portrayed as the backbone of national growth and international prominence.
