Railways Aid War Effort in Canada’s Mobilization
The Canadian National Railways president R C Vaughan told the Canadian Club of Montreal that railways form the war’s transport backbone. He noted CN handles over half of Canada’s steam mileage, supports new industries, military camps, shipyards, and food distribution, and that the war effort keeps rail lines vital from Quebec to Moncton. He cited 1941 traffic up 17 percent vs 1928 with costs down eight percent. Also mentions 9,000 railway workers in active forces and ships plus minesweepers built in Prince Rupert yards. Additional notes include long line preservation and national asset value of railway mileage for wartime needs.
