Context

Original document showing the inside of the Weston Shops in Winnipeg Manitoba, circa 1944. The Canadian Pacific Railway was founded in 1881. Part of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald's dream of Canadian Confederation, the building a transcontinental railway was part of the agreement to get British Columbia to join Confederation. Construction began in 1881 and lasted well into the 1900s to build lines connecting Canada from Vancouver to Montreal.
