The site is divided in
six sections, each one corresponding to one of the six companies which have
been selected to appear in this corpus. Those companies, brought together
throughout this century, have formed what we all know today as the CN.
For each, you will find a brief historical description enabling you to follow
the evolution of Canadian Railway history through time. Here are the six
companies available on this site :
- Canadian Northern
- Grand Trunk Railway
- Grand Trunk Pacific
- Intercolonial Railway
- Canadian National
- CN Today
You may, whenever you wish to, have access to a detailed description
and to a small photo archive of each company by clicking on the buttons located
at the bottom of each page. They, indeed, are very easy to identify, their
name appearing in big bold characters on every button (If you have difficulty
identifying Intercolonial Railways, keep in mind that it is the icon with
the big moose on it...).
The very essence of this site is basically to offer you access to a reduced,
yet interesting portion of the Canadian National Railways photo collection.
These archives, within each section, are divided in four groups :
- Locomotives
- Passenger Trains
- Structures & Operations
- Freight Trains
