Rails Across Canada: The History of Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways
Few stories in the annals of railroading are as compelling as the construction, evolution, and astounding successes of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways. This sprawling volume combines two of Voyageur Press' most successul Railroad Color History titles into one volume taking in the grand scope of both roads. Author Tom Murray presents fastidiously researched and concisely presented histories of each railroad, along with more than 300 photographs, including rare archival black-and-white images and modern and period color photography sourced from national archives and private collections. The result is a handsome tribute to two of North America's greatest industrial achievements, not to mention the awesome scope of the Canadian landscape, from the Maritimes to Vancouver Island.
