Railroads Of Canada Hilstory Of Railroads In Dominica is Of Absorbing Interest
A century of railroading has left Canada with over 42 000 miles of track and the world’s second highest rail mileage per capita after Australia. Beginnings trace to 1835 with the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway, a 16 mile portage line. The Grand Trunk System emerged in 1851, the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885 united the country, and wartime shifts led to the creation of the Canadian National Railways, a 24 000 mile system. From humble roots, railroads spurred settlement and global links, with telegraph, hotels, and fleets tying Canada to the world.
