Download or read book Whistle Posts West written by Mary Trainer and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody has a train story. Whether it comes from a distant relative who worked on the railways or from a family train trip that formed a lasting impression of the Canadian landscape, trains inspire a sense of wonder and nostalgia. They are embedded in the history of Canada as a whole and western Canada in particular, and for generations they were how most people travelled and saw the country. Today, trains get the most attention in the context of tragedy, in the aftermath of rare but catastrophic derailments. However, train stories go beyond these modern-day disaster tales or romantic glimpses into the past. Whistle Posts West presents a compelling array of stories that illustrate how and why the railways continue to capture our imaginations. From the heartbreaking to the humorous, from the awe-inspiring to the absurd, this fascinating collection of railway tales from BC and Alberta is sure to please.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The building of British Columbia's railroads called for men of ingenuity, strength, and endurance. This is the story of the PGE-BCR railway, a personal and commercial venture that is unique in the pages of Canadian history. Discover the history and people of the Pacific Great Eastern and British Columbia Railway, as well as the Royal Hudson, which today carries passengers on a nostalgic trip along the coast.This book is for the history buff and train enthusiast alike. For many years, and even today, isolated communities throughout BC have depended upon the railroad for their very survival. This vital link was pushed through some of the most difficult and rugged terrain in Canada by the Pacific Great Eastern (PGE) and its parent companies. This tradition of linking the hinterland with the rest of BC is carried on today by the modern British Columbia Railway (BCR). Train enthusiasts can still recapture the experience of traveling by steam locomotive on the Royal Hudson. This book chronicles the building of BC's own railway, tracing its roots from the PGE to the modern day Royal Hudson. A must for all train lovers!

Book Synopsis On the Street where You Live: Victoria's early roads and railways by : Danda Humphreys
Download or read book On the Street where You Live: Victoria's early roads and railways written by Danda Humphreys and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1800s, Victoria grew from a fur-trading post into a provincial capital--the jewel in British Columbia's golden crown. Meanwhile, many of the early residents, happy to leave the Hudson's Bay Company behind, followed simple trails from the fort or discovered new routes of their own. In her first book, Danda Humphreys introduced readers to some of the people who forged those pioneer pathways. Now she takes us another step back in time to the roads and railways that connected the original city's core to today's suburbs. From Saanich to Sooke, street names tell stories of intrigue and adventure: Rowland Avenue, named for the farm labourer with a sinister sideline: hangman for the HBC. Joan Crescent, where coal baron Robert Dunsmuir's widow once resided in solitary splendour in a castle called Craigdarroch. Sidney Avenue, close to where the Brethour brothers donated land for the northern terminus of the "Cordwood Express," first train to link the city with the Saanich Peninsula and the islands in the Strait of Georgia. In this second book in her On the Street Where You Live trilogy, Danda once again combines her passion for the past with a penchant for lively prose to bring you stories about Victoria's pioneers. You know the streets; now meet the people--their lives, their loves and the legends they left behind.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It began as part of a dream-a dream to directly connect lower Vancouver Island to the transcontinental lines by rail and ferry. The V&S Railway, a pioneer shortline built in the late 1800s, was in continuous (and expanding) use from 1892 to 1919. It never aggregated more than sixteen miles, but was critically important to those it served. This is a story of great expectations, shrewd business, and political dealing.
