    c;an..adian.. )~~fin Number 156 / June 1964 :Belf£il, June 29, 1864. mlRECISELY one hundred years ago this month, on June 29th, g 1864, a special passenger train on the Grand Trunk Rail- way of Canada, carrying three hundred and fifty German immigrants, went through an open drawbridge at the village of Beloeil, Que., thus precipitating Canada's worst railway accident. Ninety seven immigrants, the conductor and the locomotive fire­ man and, two days later, a curious onlooker, succumbed, carrying the death toll up to an even one hundred. The passengers had come from Europe on the salling vessel "Neckar", disembarked at Quebec, and were ferried to Levis where they were loaded on the ill-fated train. which consisted of two baggage cars, seven cars normally used for produce but tem­ porarily fitted up for passengers, a second-class coach and a brake van. The train was pulled by the 4-4-0 locomotiv .. "HAM", No. 168 of the G. T. R .. a product of the works of D.C.Gunn at Hamilton. Special trains had depleted the supply of engine- and train-crew at Richmond, the intermediate divisional point between Levis and Montreal, and the locomotive foreman persuaded Will­ iam Burney, a newly-promoted engine driver. to take the train to Montreal, even though he had never operated a locomotive over the section. Conductor. fireman and brakeman completed the crew. Approaching the Richelieu River bridge between St. Hilaire and Beloeil at about 1 :15 AM, the train failed to make a mandat­ ory stop at the east end of the bridge, provided for in the Company rules.

The claim might be made against a stranger; for example, a railway engineer might make a claim against another railway because its engineer carelessly ignored a signal and caused a collision at an intersection, or a carpenter injured in a fall from a scaffold that collapsed might make a claim against the contractor who built it.

    1 2 _________________________________ Borers in oaiation Research Proect 1 Railroads and Borderland Spaces: The Canada-U.S Case Rand illia iddis University of Regina Superised istor inal ersion ACSUS Presentation including Alexander Paul PoerPoint Presentation Introduction Transportation has played a decisive role in transforming the economic and social geography of both the United States and Canada and in this context, railroads have been prominent. Their extension in both the American and Canadian hinterlands was designed to organize territory, increase the number of settlements, support resource exploitation, and facilitate the development of regional and national markets. Yet, as history has demonstrated, while geopolitical protectionism played a somewhat more prominent role in the development of railroads in Canada than the United States, railroad expansion in both countries was not circumscribed by the international boundary. In fact, in many cases the border actually transcended such development. In other words, the Canada-United States border has historically presented both limitations and opportunities to railroad interests. This paper presents an historical overview of cross-border railroad networks, focusing on key elements such as nodes, hubs and corridors. The paper also develops the argument that because such networks responded to changes in technologies, regional development and market forces, their role in shaping the Canada-United States borderland zone varied over space and time. Framing Arguments Networks of exchange
