Dear Sir,
I have your letter of 28th ??? with reference to car of bran moved from Brookfield to Graham Siding.
The charge of $2.00 was made for the extra shunt as car was billed to Brookfield and left there and had
to be moved. If it had been billed direct on Grahams Siding we would have left it there without any
additional charge. I do not really see how we can refund you this amount.
Yours truly,
<signed> J.J. Wallace

My Great Grandfather (John Morton) worked for ICR. He was killed in a train
wreck at Nash Creek in 1909. He was the engineer of the Maritime Express. I
believe his father also worked for the ICR, Thomas Morton, but I have no
record of his whereabouts at the time of John's death. There is no mention
of him in John's obituary. John also had a brother Harvey who worked for
railway. I would appreciate any information anyone may have.

My Great Grandfather was a News Agent for the I.C.R. in St. John New
Brunswick in the early 1900's. His name was Francis Patrick Curran. Do
you have any records of him? And what did a News Agent Do?
I know in 1907 the family lived on Paradise Row and he worked for the
railway then. I wondered if there would be any pictures of him?
Thank you,
Doris,

Riviere du Loup broke near St.Andrew. Both driver Montgomery and fireman
Langlois jumped ...."..and in the next census of 1891 GGGrandmother,

That is fascinating, Steve! You have several connections to the ICR.

Steve,
My great great grandfather was the ICR general locomotive foreman for many
years. he joined the ICR in 1862 as a machinist, I think in Saint John, NB.
His obit mentions he was assigned to the Phoenix Foundry & Locomotive Works
under Geo. Fleming & Son for 1 year right after joining then lived in
Moncton. Became foreman in 1872.
He moved to Point du Chene, NB in 1889 where he was Mechanical Foreman at
that station.
He died in 1906. He was a native of Scotland born there in 1832.
His son A B MacHaffie (or Mchaffie) was also a general locomotive foreman.
The ICR connection also extends to my great grandfather Winslow Bolton who
in 1771 was a section foreman and living in Devon, NB (across from
Fredericton). I have a work book of his that details various construction
projects with dimensions, lists of materials, weather comments, etc.
He moved to Norton Station after 1871 and died there of TB in 1897 in his
40s.

Any records exist to shed more light on this.

Steve C, without seeing the picture I'm not sure what it could be. There is
a very famous picture of the Maritime Express that is often seen, with the
train on an embankment. Can you take a picture or scan of it and email it
to me?

I have an ICR frame with a pic (looks like a print of some kind) of the
Ocean limited. The print looks very old, the only thing I could find on it
is it might be from around 1904-1917. Do you have any info on this?
Steve Boyko
18 Jul 2007, 06:20
Lee, I will email you directly. I don't have those records but I may know
someone who does.

My GreatGrandfather was an employee of Intercolonial Railway....on his
marriage document of Feb.1874 he is listed as a "FIreman" and in 1881 he is
listed as Locomotive Engineer.
Do you have access, or knowledge of, the employee records, pay sheets, etc.
of the Intercolonial Railway from 1870 to 1900??
I would appreciate any direction
