The Making of a Great Canadian Railway
Excerpt from The Making of a Great Canadian Railway
My thanks are due to President Hays and the various members of his staff who spared no effort to give me every assistance; to the Commissioners of the National Trans Continental Railway in regard to the Government section of the line to Mr. B. B. Kelliher, the engineer-in-chief of the Grand Trunk Pacific, more especially for permission to reproduce the condensed profile of the grade between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert; to Mr. J. W. Stewart, of Messrs. Foley, -welch, and Stewart, the constructional engineers, and the numerous sub-contractors. Last, but not least, I am indebted to many whom I met for per mission to reproduce the accompanying illustrations.
