I.—BOARD OF RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA.
GRAND THUNK CENTRAL STATION, RIDEAU STREET, OTTAWA, CANADA.

Assistant Chief Commissioner—S. J. McLean, M.A., LL.B., Ph.D.
Commissioners—Hon. T. C. Norris ; J. A. Stoneman.
Special Advisor on Highway Crossings—Hon. Frank Oliver.
Secretary—A. D. Cartwright, B.A.
Counsel—A. G. Blair, K.C.
Chief Engineer—T. L. Simmons.

Under the Railway Act, the Board has jurisdiction over all railways in the Dominion of Canada incorporated under Dominion Statute, and declared to be works for the general advantage of Canada. This jurisdiction takes effect as soon as a road is incorporated, and the Act provides that the Company shall file with the Board for approval its location plans. The approval of the Board has also to be obtained for the crossing of any public highways, the crossing of any railways, construction of bridges, tunnels, etc. The Board also has jurisdiction over all rates charged by the Company, freight and passenger. In a word, there is very little that a railway company can do affecting the construction of the road, or rates to be charged, without the approval of the Board.
The Board has also jurisdiction over the rates of all telephone companies incorporated under Dominion Statute ; over express companies and their rates ; and over telegraph companies’ rates, and the carrying of telegraph or telephone lines over the tracks or lines of a railway company subject to the Board’s jurisdiction. Also jurisdiction over power companies’ lines, for the transmission of electrical power where the same cross lines or tracks of a railway company.
The powers of the Board are extensive, and with regard to the findings of the Board on matters of fact, there is but one appeal, namely, to the Governor-in-Council. With regard to matters of law or jurisdiction, appeal lies from an Order of the Board to the Supreme Court of Canada. What constitutes a question of law is a matter to be decided by the Board.

II— CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS.
The Canadian National Railway Company was incorporated in 1919 and became amalgamated in 1923 with the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada ; the name of the new company thus formed being also the Canadian National Railway Company. The Dominion Government owns all its capital stock. In addition to owning and operating the old Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, the Intercolonial Railway, National Transcontinental Railway, Prince Edward Island Railway, Hudson Bay Railway, Lake Superior Branch (leased from The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway) and certain other lines. The Directors of the Canadian National Railway Company are also the Directors of the Canadian Northern Railway Company, and therefore the same body has the management of the foregoing lines and also of the lines of the Canadian Northern System.
The title “ Canadian National Railways ” is a term authorized first by an Order in Council, and then by Act of Parliament, to be used as a collective designation of all lines forming part of or under the control of the Canadian National Railway Company, the Canadian Northern Railway Company or the Canadian Government Railways, but no body corporate with the name “ Canadian National Railways ” exists.

"CANADIAN NATIONAL" RAILWAYS.
{Canadian Northern, Canadian Government, Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacific Lines.)
General Particulars : The Canadian Northern Railway Company is the result of an amalgamation in 1900 of the Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company and the Winnipeg Great Northern Railway Company and various later amalgamations. Its lines and those of subsidiary or controlled companies extend from Quebec to Vancouver; with some mileage in Nova Scotia. In 1901 the Manitoba lines of the Northern Pacific were leased. Port Arthur, on Lake Superior, was reached in 1902, Edmonton 1905, Prince Albert 1906, Regina 1907. In 1912 and 1914 the Government of the Dominion acquired part of and in 1918 the balance of the common stock of the Canadian Northern Railway Company.

The Intercolonial, National Transcontinental and Prince Edward Island Railways, known as The Canadian Government Railways, are operated as part of the Canadian National Railways. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, incorporated 1903, was built to provide, in conjunction with the National Transcontinental Railway, a through route from Moncton, N.B., to Prince Rupert, B.C., wholly within Canadian territory. The Western division, Winnipeg to Prince Rupert, which included the Prairie and Mountain sections, was built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. The Eastern Division, from Winnipeg to Moncton, N.B., was constructed for the Dominion Government by the National Transcontinental Railway Commission. Since 1920 the Grand Trunk Pacific has been operated as part of the Canadian National Railways. The Grand Trunk Railway System was taken over by the Dominion Government in 1923,and forms part of the Canadian National Railways,

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA.
General Particulars : This company, the “ Pioneer Railway of Canada,” was chartered 1852, and amalgamated various small lines, including the St. Lawrence and Champlain, the first railway in Canada, and the Quebec and Richmond, St. Lawrence and Atlantic, Old Grand Trunk, Grand Junction, Toronto, Guelph and Sarnia, and Main Trunk Rys. The route from Riviere du Loup, P.Q., to Sarnia was completed 1858. The Victoria Bridge at Montreal (1| m. in length with approaches) was completed 1860, and formally opened for traffic by the late King Edward VII. as Prince of Wales. Construction of the railway was materially assisted by subsidies and donations voted by the Dominion Government, as was inevitable for a railway designed to open up a new country. Principal railways amalgamated with or leased or worked by the Grand Trunk Ry. included the Great Western of Canada (amalgamated 1882), Atlantic and St. Lawrence, Buffalo and Lake Huron, Canada Atlantic (since 1904), Northern of Canada, International Bridge (opened 3 Nov., 1873), St. Clair Tunnel, Victoria Jubilee Bridge (completed Dec., 1898), Grand Trunk Pacific and other lines. Originally the gauge of many sections was 5 ft. 6 in., but in 1870 these were converted to the usual standard. In 1879 the Government purchased the Point Levi (opposite Quebec)—Riviere du Loup section for the Intercolonial (Government) Ry. Connection across the St. Clair River was maintained by car ferry boats until the tunnel between Sarnia and Fort Huron was opened in 1891. The Chicago and Grand Trunk Ry. was completed 1881, renamed Grand Trunk Western Ry. in 1900. The combined system included a considerable mileage in the United States, and provided through services not only between the chief towns in Canada, but also between these and the principal centres in the United States. The first Niagara bridge, between Fort Erie and Buffalo, was completed 1873 and completely rebuilt 1890. Arrangements for the acquisition of the Grand Trunk Ry. by the Government occupied some time, the original proposals being formally accepted by the shareholders in 1920, and in 1921 the control of the Company was transferred to the Government. In 1923 the Company became amalgamated with the
Canadian National Railway Company.

Construction was begun in 1881, and completed throughout 26 May, 1887, from Montreal to Vancouver. Certain United States lines are also controlled by the company, including the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie, and the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Rys. Much of the main route across Canada has been doubled, and the Kettle Valley Ry. provides an alternative route between Medicine Hat and Vancouver, via the Crow’s Nest Pass and tunnel. Associated steamer services have been developed to a notable degree, and are operated by the Canadian Pacific Steamships services in regard to trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific services, and similar organisations for the Great Lakes Coast and river services.
