Canadian Pacific branded Telegram sent from T. Hambley, esquire in North Bay to T. A. Wilson, esquire in Sudbury on July 6, 1935Context
The telegram is discussing a previous letter sent from T. A. Wilson on June 28 of the same year, part of file 0-1-1808 regarding a proposed new connection with Canadian National at Wanup and South Parry. T. Hambley has referred his recommendation to a signal engineer who replied and also sent along a sketch.
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.Collection
