Another New CPR Book
Canadian Pacific Railway - MBI Railroad Color History - by
Tom Murray, hardcover, 160 pages, 9 x 11 inches.
When it completed Canadas 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. CPRs story unfolds in all its spectacular sweep and gritty detail in this latest
addition to MBIs 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 Worlds Greatest Travel System.
For those of you who follow the CPR on Yahoo Groups you have most likely noticed Phil Mason's name. He is well known there as a retired
CPR engineer. Now you can see his photographic works printed in this book.
