Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Proceedings at the Thirty-First Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co: Held on Wednesday, October 2nd, 1912, at the General Offices of the Company at Montreal Unfortunately, the weather conditions and the shortage of farm help interfered with the threshing, and, as a consequence, the movement of the grain to the markets will crowd the facilities of the transportation lines between this time and the close of lake navigation. We hope, however, to escape anything in the nature of serious congestion, and we have reason to expect that the grain traffic and the general business of the Company during the next year will be at least as large as it was last year. A second main line is now being laid between Regina and Chaplin, in the Province of Saskatchewan, and by the end of 1914 the double track should be completed and in use between Fort William and Calgary, a distance of 1, 256 miles. The extension of the second track from Calgary to Revelstoke, where the line crosses the mountain ranges, will necessarily require most careful investigation and study at the hands of our engineers before a plan of operations can be determined upon, but a double track through this territory is urgently required to meet the demands of the traffic, and no unnecessary time will be lost in the commencement and prosecution of the work.
