Almost all of the more than 40,000 miles of operating lines are single track, because of the limited traffic, but the double-track Montreal-Toronto-Sarnia line, leading to Chicago, is one of the great \"main lines\" of North America. The nation-wide system is operated by about two dozen companies, Canadian Pacific accounting for about one third of the total and Canadian National Railways \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 107%; font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003efor just over one half. Total mileage has not changed significantly in the last 40 years, new lines replacing those abandoned, but from 1870 to 1920, after a slow start following 1836, there was steady extension of railways across the land. Building of the CPR to the west coast was but a part of this; construction of the Intercolonial (now CNR) from Halifax to Montreal preceded the CPR by more than ten years. This book presents a sampling of the photographic record so fortunately available of this great story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAll pictures are of the actual item.  If this is a railroad item, this material is obsolete and no longer in use by the railroad.  Please email with questions.
