  • 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.

    15914-13 MacDonald Research 5/9/06 3:02 PM Page 158 RESEARCH NOTE/NOTES DE RECHERCHE Railway Tourism in the “Land of Evangeline”, 1882-1946 IN 1847 HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW wrote a poem purportedly based on a story he had heard of an Acadian girl and her betrothed who had endured the Acadian Deportation from Nova Scotia almost a century earlier. The publication of Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie quickly gained the American poet international acclaim. The work sparked interest in the region as a vacation destination, especially among New Englanders, and promoters were soon exploiting the tale of unrequited love and lost homeland in order to draw tourists. Particularly active in this regard was the Windsor and Annapolis Railway Company (W&AR), incorporated in 1867 and later reinvented as the Dominion Atlantic Railway Company (DAR).1 Among the earliest organized efforts to promote tourism in Nova Scotia, its colourful and evocative “Land of Evangeline” publicity beckoned tourists to Grand-Pré and its surroundings with the promise of a nostalgic step back in time. Most of this output took the form of timetables, brochures and guide books, some of which were authored by prominent writers and historians who expounded the merits of the landscape and its connection to the Acadian past. These promotional materials reveal as much about the social and cultural context of their creation as they do about 18th-century Acadian life. Examination of the railway’s more prominent texts and images, as well as some of the factors that influenced their production, shows how they worked to both reflect and shape contemporary understanding and attitudes about the Acadian experience.

  • 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.

  • I Guess You Had to Be There: the Making of Battle River Railway – the Movie
    Report I Guess You Had To Be There: The Making of Battle River Railway – The Movie Darin Barney McGill University It’s time for the Wheat Board and others who have been standing in the way to realize that this train is barrelling down a prairie track. You’re much better to get on it than to lie on the tracks because this is going ahead. —Prime Minister Stephen Harper, October 2011 ABSTRACT This note provides context for a video presentation made at the 2011 Canadian Communication Association meetings in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The video presentation recounted the efforts of a group of Alberta grain farmers who established a cooperative short line railroad in order to sustain alternative grain handling practices in their communities. The note considers the relative merits of textual and visual presentation.
