Canadian National Railway
By Tom Murray
Author Tom Murray provides an unprecedented look at a national icon, from its genesis amid the turmoil surrounding World War I to its acquisition of the Duluth, Missabe & Northern Railroad and its lease of BC Rail, both in 2003. In addition to exploring Canadian National operations and equipment through depression, war, modernization and acquisitions, Murray explains how the railway affected and was influenced by the vast and varied regions it served. Marvelous photography from top photographers and Canadian archives along with period timetables and print ads illustrate CN’s extraordinary geographic reach, diverse operations, and social and economic roles. Hardcover, 160 pages, 150 color and 50 black and white photos, 8 1/2 x 11".
