Rails Across Canada: A Pictorial Journey from Coast to Coast

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.
