  • 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.

  • 1 Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CONTEXT OF THE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) intends to expand regional transit service in the North Corridor, connecting the existing regional transit system from the planned interim terminus of Link light rail in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle to the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Approved by voters as part of the Sound Transit 2 (ST2) Plan in 2008 (Sound Transit 2007a), the North Corridor Transit Project would connect to and build on the Link light rail line that opened for service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport in 2009, and would extend northward to serve north Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, and the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Construction is currently underway on a light rail extension to the University of Washington scheduled to open in 2016, followed by service to Northgate targeted in 2021. Voter-approved additions over the next few years will bring 36 new miles of service to the north, south, and east, creating a 55-mile light rail system serving the region. The North Corridor project connecting Northgate to Lynnwood is an incremental step in the implementation of the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC’s) VISION 2040 (PSRC 2009) and the Sound Transit 2005 Regional Transit Long-Range Plan (Sound Transit 2005a), both of which call for the eventual extension of high capacity transit (HCT) service north to Everett. Figure 1-1 shows the Regional Transit System plan map adopted by Sound Transit in 2008 as well as the North Corridor.
