  • Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism Introduction Historiography
    ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. Page 1 of 22 Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism A.A. den Otter ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Introduction The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always been a symbol of Canada's nation-building experience. Poets, musicians, politicians, historians, and writers have lauded the railway as one of the country's greatest achievements. Indeed, the transcontinental railway was a remarkable accomplishment: its managers, engineers, and workers overcame incredible obstacles to throw the iron track across seemingly impenetrable bogs and forests, expansive prairies, and nearly impassable mountains. The cost in money, human energy, and lives was enormous. Completed in 1885, the CPR was one of the most important instruments by which fledgling Canada realized a vision implicit in the Confederation agreement of 1867-the building of a nation from sea to sea. In the fulfilment of this dream, the CPR, and subsequently the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems, allowed the easy interchange of people, ideas, and goods across a vast continent; they permitted the settlement of the Western interior and the Pacific coast; and they facilitated the integration of Atlantic Canada with the nation's heartland. In sum, by expediting commercial, political, and cultural intercourse among Canada's diverse regions, the transcontinentals in general, and the CPR in particular, strengthened the nation. Historiography The first scholarly historical analysis of the Canadian Pacific Railway was Harold Innis's A History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In his daunting account of contracts, passenger traffic, freight rates, and profits, he drew some sweeping conclusions.

  • Railroad Crossings: the Transnational World of North
    RAILROAD CROSSINGS: THE TRANSNATIONAL WORLD OF NORTH AMERICA, 1850-1910 By Christine Ann Berkowitz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Christine Ann Berkowitz 2009. RAILROAD CROSSINGS: THE TRANSNATIONAL WORLD OF NORTH AMERICA, 1850-1910 By Christine Ann Berkowitz Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto, 2009 ABSTRACT The last quarter of the nineteenth century is often referred to as the “Golden Age” of railroad building. More track was laid in this period in North America than in any other period. The building of railroads was considered synonymous with nation building and economic progress. Railway workers were the single largest occupational group in the period and among the first workers to be employed by large-scale, corporately owned and bureaucratically managed organizations. While there is a rich historiography regarding the institutional and everyday lives of railway workers and the corporations that employed them, the unit of analysis has been primarily bounded by the nation. These national narratives leave out the north-south connections created by railroads that cut across geo-political boundaries and thus dramatically increasing the flows of people, goods and services between nations on the North American continent. Does the story change if viewed from a continental rather than national perspective? Railroad Crossings tells the story of the people and places along the route of the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada between Montreal, Quebec and Portland, Maine and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad (and later of the Southern Pacific) between Benson, Arizona and Guaymas, Sonora.

  • 7. When Coal Was King
    The areal photo of Kingston’s water front was taken in the 1950s. From the bottom left, or west side, along the shore of Lake Ontario we can just see the chimney of the Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital heating plant. Further along the shore is the Murney Tower, currently a museum operated by Parks Canada. Next as an island in the water is the Kingston Yacht Club dating from 1895, then the Simcoe coal dock and immediately beside it the Kingston Water Works with coal piles visible. The rectangle of land sticking out is the Kingston Locomotive and Engine Company, Kingston’ largest manufacturing plant at that time. In the water is the lonely dot of another Murney Tower, now part of Confederation Basin, and to the north east the grain elevator, then the La Salle Causeway, and the village of Barriefield. The next insert is a detail of the Kingston waterfront in the 1950s. We see coal piles at the KWW and at the Simcoe dock. KYC is at the lower right corner. Photo credit Queen’s archives. 1 This photograph gives a view to the west. Prominent in the foreground is the Canadian Locomotive and Engine Co. The locomotive works were of course large users of coal and their coal dock reflects this. This is a detail of an aerial photo from the Queen’s archives: NLAC‐PA 30632‐V23‐Ph Aer‐S The photo dates from September or October 1920s. The aerial photo might have been made by Billy Bishop and his partner who was a photographer.

    A CENTURY OF STEAM RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT SIR HENRY THORNTON ALTHOUGH the year 1925 is generally accepted as marking the hundredth anniversary of steam railways, and September 27th is the date actually observed, railroads and the use of steam as a means of locomotion came into being over twenty years before 1825. In fact, it is recorded that as early as the year 1530 crude rails were used for the convenience of the trams in which ore was hauled in the mines of the Tyrol. Ask the average person who invented the steam locomotive, and the immediate answer will be "Stephenson." Ask him whether it was George or Robert, and an element of doubt will at once arise in his mind. Mention the name of Trevithick, and unless he has made a thorough study of railroads and their development he will tell you he never heard of the name. Yet Richard Trevithick and his cousin Andrew Vivian built the first locomotive which successfully hauled a train, and they put it into operation in February, 1804. Even ask many railroad men the name of the first railroad, and the answer will be the Stockton & Darlington, the hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of whose service was September 27th of this year. But even this is incorrect. The Stockton & Darlington Railway's distinction lies in the fact that it was the first railway to carry both passengers arid freight, and for that reason modern steam railroading is dated from the opening of this company's service between Stockton and Darlington. The operation of Trevithick's locomotive between Merthyr Tydvil and the Aberdare Canal at Abercynon, nearly twenty-one years before, had been exclusively for hauling freight and mine products, while other steam railways previous to the opening of the Stockton & Darlington were used for similar purposes.
