  • Activity Booklet / Teacher's Guide
    Train Safety Activity Booklet / Teacher’s Guide saskatchewan.ca Welcomel Most injuries and deaths related to railways are unnecessary because they are preventable. That is why the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, in partnership with the Western Canadian Short Line Railway Association, produced this latest edition of the Train Safety Activity Book and companion Teacher's Guide. By having children work through the book's activities, the hope is this provincial safety initiative educates future generations about railway safety and prevents accidents. 1 Content: · Students will learn the importance of railway safety through various subject areas. Objectives: · Encourage safety around railways and trains. · Encourage awareness of dangers associated with railways and discourage unsafe activities around trains and railways property. Language Arts: · Students can create poems about train safety using the information gathered from the activity book. Students may recite their poems in small groups or in front of the class. • Students may look at the safety pictures in the activity book and write a short story about the characters in the pictures. Students must remember to keep the theme of safety in mind. Arts Education: · Students may create train safety posters addressing different safety issues. These posters can be displayed throughout the school. • In small groups, students can create a commercial/infomercial promoting train safety. These commercials/infomercials may be performed in front of our classroom peers or younger classes. Health: · Students can be given task cards containing issues regarding train safety. Students must work cooperatively and create a solution to these realistic issues. Computers: · The website below will provide students with information about trains.

  • Network Evolution: the Origins, Development And
    Network Evolution: The Origins, Development and Effectiveness of ’s Railway System Manitoba by Christopher G. L. McCombe A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba © 2011 by Christopher McCombe Copyright ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing characteristics of railway infrastructure development and associated issues in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The period under consideration dates from when the first tracks were laid in 1878 through to the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway in 1929. Setting the scene is a template for railway development in general, one that allows hypotheses to be drawn that are specific to Manitoba. In order to test those hypotheses it is necessary to first provide a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution of the railway network. Next, the tools for testing the hypotheses as to how that network emerged have to be reviewed. That review examines aspects of graph theory, identifying the methodology most appropriate for a spatial analysis of railway networks. With the fundamental assumption in mind that no railway system of any real complexity can be effectively understood without considering the process of its creation, this analysis attempts to draw conclusions about the relationship between the railway companies and the governments, people and geography that they were compelled to deal with. Given that objective, an emphasis is placed during hypothesis testing on a set of geographic forms developed by prominent geographer Donald Meinig, who set the precedent in the field of railway-network geography.
