Book Synopsis Rails Across Canada by : David Cable

Download or read book Rails Across Canada written by David Cable. This book was released on 2015-10-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scenic photographic tour offers “an interesting snapshot of Canadian railroading” (Continental Modeller). The origins of Canada’s railways lie largely in the British Empire, and its two major networks, the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific, operate across the whole of the country. In addition to rail operation, the Canadian Pacific has owned and operated a sizable fleet of cargo and passenger ships between Canada and Europe. Canada has also had some smaller operators running services in odd corners of the country, like the Prince Edward Island Railway and the Newfoundland Railway. David Cable has journeyed across Canada, extensively photographing the network of both the large and small operators, often recording scenes in the most obscure locations. This richly illustrated book captures his travels and the impressive trains that connect people and goods all over the country.

Book Synopsis Narrow Gauge Railways of Canada by : Omer Lavallée

Download or read book Narrow Gauge Railways of Canada written by Omer Lavallée. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrow Gauge Railways of Canada is a survey course about one of the most interesting chapters in Canadian railway history. The late Omer Lavallee's original work was published by Railfare Books in 1972, and soon sold out. Long-sought by collectors, historians and railway enthusiasts, his excellent material has now been expanded (over 40 percent) by the author's long-time friend and collaborator, editor Ronald Ritchie. Omer Lavallee's survey indicates the Province of Ontario, Canada, was the birth place - in July 1871 - of the first narrow gauge steam-operated public railway in North America . . . and the Lingan Colliery Tramway in Cape Breton may have been - in 1866 - the first narrow gauge steam-operated railway in the Western Hemisphere. Two dozen different railway systems are covered within the book's twenty-five chapters. There are 192 rare photographs - including a section of 66 full-color photos - interesting sketches, and informative maps of each line to show route details. These are keyed to an overall map, pinpointing the railway's exact location within Canada. Narrow Gauge Railways of Canada contains listings of railway mileage, chronological and geographical facts about each system, and locomotive information. Several other useful features include: time-mileage charts, 50 diagrams, charts and tables, equipment rosters for virtually all the railways, and gradient profiles of three steeply-graded mountain routes. The book includes a specially-commissioned painting by famed railway artist Wentworth Folkins, illustrating Newfoundland Railway's Overland approaching Port-aux-Basque on the last lap of its 547-mile journey from Newfoundland's capital city, St. John's.
