Description
Few people realize that provincially owned railway systems existed in Canada. Still fewer know that at one time Canada’s third largest railway system was operated in Alberta as the Northern Alberta Railways Company.
Ribbons of Steel, based on mini-biographies of the people involved with NAR, is as much a memoir of a community as it is an history of a major Canadian railway. According to Ena Schneider, dedicated employees built the reputation of the NAR. Interspersed with anecdotes and photos of these colorful men and women are chapters which give fresh insight into well-known events in our history.
