Cape Breton Railways

by Herb MacDonald
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Cape Breton's rail lines are perhaps best known for their substantial roles in the coal and steel industries-and their decline as those industries faded away. Yet, despite their prominent connections to coal and steel, railways played many other important roles in the life of the Island. From transporting mail and freight to giving Cape Bretoners the ability to travel to and from the Island, they were significant to the community culture. This book looks at those railways in the contexts of what was happening on and beyond the Island.
