Myth persists about railways across the dominion
A long standing railway myth denies Canadian Pacific unfair advantage against Canadian National. Officials note pre 1924 routes via Port Arthur gave CN a disadvantage, but after adopting the northern line and Nakina Longlac cut off, running times improved from 42 to 35 hours westbound and 41 to 34 hours eastbound. CN says eight hours shaved would require 23 hours total, which is not feasible today due to line limits. Earlier routes via North Bay and Cochrane yielded 107h45m westbound and 102h40m eastbound. post 1931 Capreol through Longlac cut-off reduced to 98h west and 96h east. Since 1931 times further dropped to 87h25m westbound and 82h40m eastbound.
