The Canada Atlantic Railway The Canada Atlantic Railway was formed out of a combination of railway lines constructed between the Vermont and Quebec border, west to the shores of Georgian Bay at Depot Harbour. The entire project was implemented by a prominent lumber baron from the Ottawa Valley named John R. Booth, a wealthy man who owned saw mills in the capital city and thousands of square miles of timber limits beyond. The following is a breakdown of all rail lines that were either constructed or controlled by the Canada Atlantic Railway. Canada Atlantic Railway Location: The Canada Atlantic Railway is located in Eastern Ontario, originally stretching within Ontario between Ottawa and Glen Robertson. Beyond the Provincial borders, the line connects through Quebec with the Central Vermont Railway at Alburg Junction in Vermont. History: Approximate Millage: From Ottawa to Vermont, the line totalled 138 miles. The CAR at its maximum was 397 miles (Depot Harbour to the American border). Within only Ontario, the CAR extended 329 miles. Current Status: The Canada Atlantic between Ottawa and the Quebec border has become, under Canadian National ownership, the Alexandria Subdivision. It remains in active service.

The Canadian National Railways Click on the icons to have access to the photo collection Like many modern corporations, Canadian National Railways was the result of the merging of a large number of smaller and older companies whose operations were combined over the years to form a more complex transportation system. Following the success of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada's first railway connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific coast, two new transcontinental lines were built before World War I. These were the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway. However, as a result of the outbreak of the war in 1914 and high construction costs, these railways quickly encountered serious financial difficulties. On the recommendation of a Royal commission, in 1917 the federal Government decided to combine the operations of the government-owned Canadian Government Railways and the privately owned, but financially troubled, Canadian Northern Railways System. The new railway was called the Canadian National Railways in 1918. A year later, Canadian National took over the operations of another western line, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. In 1923, following the difficult negotiations, CN assumed control of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, the oldest and largest railway company operating in eastern Canada. With the nationalization of these lines, Canadian National became the largest railway in Canada. It operated over 35,000 kilometres of railway lines linking the country from coast to coast as well as lines in the United States. Over the years, other railway lines, such as the Newfoundland Railway, were also absorbed into C.N.

Welcome to the Canadian Information pages Sponsored by: HISTORY Canada and the United States have many major geographic features in common. They share the Rocky Mountains, the Interior Plains, four of the Great Lakes, the Appalachian Highlands, and many rivers. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the stories of the exploration and settlement of both of these nations are closely interwoven. The complete history of neither Canada nor the United States can be studied without reference to the history of the other. Each is today an independent nation. Each, however, achieved its independence by a completely different pathCanada by gradual constitutional change spread over many years, the United States by a single great War of Independence. Discovery of Canada The earliest discovery of the New World was made by Norse seafarers known as Vikings. The vague accounts of their exploits are drawn from their sagas, epic stories in prose or verse handed down by word of mouth through many generations. In AD 985 Norse seamen sailing from Iceland to Greenland were blown far westward off their course and sighted the coast of what must have been Labrador. The report of forested areas on the strange new coast encouraged further explorations by Norse colonists from Greenland, whose settlements lacked lumber.
