When it completed Canada's first cross-country rail link in 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway united a vast young nation and opened its remote areas to settlers and commerce. CPR's story unfolds in all its spectacular sweep and gritty detail in this latest addition to MBI's "Railroad Color History Series". Following the line from its incorporation in 1881 to its multinational presence today, this richly illustrated volume depicts locomotives, rolling stock, employees, the diverse terrain CPR traversed, as well as the operations that made it "The World's Greatest Travel System."
