Description
Beginning in the early nineteenth century, the railway in Canada was an invaluable form of transportation. For the automobile had not even been invented and the only other way to traverse the vast expanses of Canada was by horse or foot. The first railway of the nation -- the Champlain and St. Lawrence -- linked the St. Lawrence River with the Lake Champlain River system. The Canadian Northern Railway began in Manitoba and soon stretched far into the Prairie Provinces. By the turn of the century, Canada had thousands upon thousands of miles of railway.
