Canadian Government Railways
Much more information has been written about the Canadian Government Railways than I could ever hope to write. This page will attempt to provide an overview of the CGR's history in New Brunswick.
On April 1, 1916 these government-owned railways were merged into the CGR: Intercolonial Railway National Transcontinental Railway New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island Railway On May 20, 1918 seven New Brunswick railways were merged with the CGR: Buctouche and Moncton Railroad Company Caraquet and Gulf Shore Railway Company Elgin Petitcodiac and Havelock Railroad Kent Northern Railway Salisbury and Albert Railroad Company St. Martins and Upham Railroad York and Carleton Railroad The CGR eventually became part of the Canadian National Railway system together with the Canadian Northern Railway? system in 1919. The Caraquet and Gulf Shore Railway Company was absorbed into the CGR system on June 1, 1920. HomePage Created by: admin last modification: Wednesday 13 of December, 2006 [15:30:56 UTC] by admin |
