O Canada 19

Day nineteen of my series on Things Canada is Known For. My post today is the Railroad.
The railway has played a huge part in developing Canada into the nation it is today.
The idea of a transcontinental railway began in 1872 with Canada's first prime Minister Sir John A MacDonald. It was completed in 1885.
Today's pictures starting with the top left and going clockwise are

1. Canada 150 train. A special train that made its way across Canada fits 150th birthday.

2. CPR Station in Fort Saskatchewan AB

3. A special memorial honoring the Last Spike at Cragellachie BC Nov. 7 1885

4. CNR Caboose at a railway museum in Fort Langley BC

5. A CNR Trestle Bridge in St. Albert AB

I love trains, but I've never taken a train in Canada (I've been on subways, LRT, and GoTrains but I mean regular passenger trains like Via)! Great collage; the reflections in your trestle picture are awesome!

[Kathy]

My grandfather worked for CN. My brother has taken the train trip from east to west and again from west to east in Canada.

I’d love to take a slow rail trip across Canada! Of course, being claustrophobic I’d have to have the suite!
