Description
Transportation history buffs rejoice. Ride the rails and the waves in this special two-book collection on the great railways from Canada’s past.
Passenger and Merchant Ships of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Railways
The first detailed account of the rise and fall of the maritime branches of two of Canada’s great transcontinental railways of the early twentieth century: the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern.
Great Western Railway of Canada
It was one of the great railways that opened up Canada, and played a huge role in the development of Hamilton, the site of its head offices. Yet the rise and fall of the Great Western Railway has been almost lost to memory. David R.P. Guay provides the authoritative book of a great Canadian railway that history forgot.
