  • Interwar Rail Construction in Saskatchewan and Alberta: an Evaluation
    Prairie Perspectives (Vol. 11) 45 Interwar rail construction in Saskatchewan and Alberta: an evaluation Charles W. Bohi, Independent Scholar, White River Junction, Vermont ([email protected]) Leslie S. Kozma, Independent Scholar, Edmonton, Alberta ([email protected]) Abstract: Between 1919 and 1935 over 4,600 miles (7,403 km) of new railway were built in the Prairie Provinces. More than 90 percent of these were low density branch lines built in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In 1932, the Royal Commission on Railways and Transportation, usually referred to as the Duff Commission after its Chairman, Chief Justice Lyman Duff, concluded that the construction of these branch lines was a ‘disastrous’ mistake. That became the prevailing view of historians and others who studied the Interwar period. In addition, many scholars blamed Canadian National and its President, Sir Henry Thornton, for causing this waste by invasions of Canadian Pacific territory. The purpose of this paper is to examine the pressures that caused so many new branch lines to be built, whether Canadian National was the aggressor, and, most importantly, whether the money spent on these lines was indeed wasted. Key words: railways, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway Introduction “Railways … were as essential as rain and sun to progressive settlement on the Canadian prairie” (Mackintosh 1934, 46). This outlook was the driving force behind the last great burst of rural branch-line construction in North America. Between the end of World War I in 1918 and 1935, the railways built some 4,600 miles (7,403 km) of new lines in the Prairie Provinces.
