Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Northern Pacific Railway Company : The Canadian Northern Pacific Railway Company was incorporated under British Columbia Act, 10 Edward VII, Cap. 4 of 10 March 1910 to construct and operate railway lines through the province of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island. A total of 729.74 miles of railway were built under this charter. This included the 500 mile main line from the Yellowhead Pass to Vancouver, a branch to Kamloops in the Okanagan region and over one hundred miles on Vancouver Island. In addition, major undertakings were given the City of Vancouver, one of which, the Hotel Vancouver was completed in 1939. The company was transferred by Mackenzie and Mann in 1914 to the Canadian Northern Railway Company. On 8 June 1954 the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway Company joined with 11 other companies to become Canadian Northern Consolidated Railways which merged with the Canadian National Railway Company in 1956.
