Introduction Planting the Seeds Cultivating the Garden Second-Generation Gardening ... Comments Cultivating the Garden Railway Station Gardening Influenced by the social reform ideas of the period, public institutions began to take responsibility for improving the property within their management. For the Canadian Pacific Railway this coincided with the desire to promote the fertility of the prairies, in order to encourage immigration. They started with a simple program in 1908 to provide seeds as an encouragement to station agents to cultivate small gardens on station property. The idea was enthusiastically adopted across the country. A forestry department was established to formalize the program. Greenhouses were built to give plants an early start before they were distributed to the individual stations. Teams of experts crossed the country inspecting the gardens. Other railway lines, not to be outdone, started their own programs. As the station agents gained expertise, it was often they who helped to create local horticultural societies and garden clubs. von Baeyer, Edwinna.

History and Management From Rail to Trail T he Cataraqui Trail follows a section of abandoned CN Railway running from Strathcona near Napanee to Smiths Falls. Train services along this line were discontinued in 1986, the ties and tracks were removed in 1989. Two regional snowmobile clubs, Lennox and Addington Ridge Runners S.C. and the Rideau Ridge Riders S.C., members of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), used the corridor through a lease agreement with CN for several years. At the same time the South Eastern Ontario Rails to Trails Association (SEORTA), urged a Ontario provincial government interministerial committee to acquire the abandoned right-of-way for conversion to a recreational trail. Unfortunately, in 1996, the funding allocated for such acquisition was depleted. CNs options included selling the line to municipalities and/or to adjacent landowners. T he snowmobile clubs, fearful that if the land was sold off in small parcels they would lose its use as a trail, approached CN to negotiate the purchase of the entire line. The ownership would then be transferred to the Ministry of Natural Resources. MNR determined that ownership of public trails did not fall within its current mandate, however, the Cataraqui Regional Conservation Authority (CRCA) offered to hold title to the land. This offer was on the understanding that all acquisition, development and operating costs of the proposed trail would have zero effect on their budget. I n response to the Conservation Authority's offer, the snowmobile clubs in concert with SEORTA formed an ad hoc acquisition committee to create a plan for the acquisition, governance, development and operation of a shared-use year-round trail. In order for the Conservation Authority to formally accept ownership, it had to seek the approval of all municipalities through which the line ran. A series of public meetings were held in which the public was invited to express their support or concerns about the creation of this trail.

Histor y of the United Transportation Union in Canada Canadian railway workers followed a similar union organizing pattern to their brothers and sisters in the United States. The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, the forerunner to the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, granted the first charter in Canada to a Lodge at Moncton, New Brunswick in 1885. Union organizing proliferated in Canada during this period, encouraged by intolerable working conditions and by organizing campaigns by the Engineers, Conductors, Firemen and Trainmen and on-board service personnel. The growth in bus transport as a feeder service and alternative to rail or automobile transport began later. Labour organizing drives were extended to bus operations that were affiliated with the railways and to several city and inter-city bus lines. Beginning in early 1968 and until August of that year, former General Chairperson Paul LaRochelle served as the Canadian member of a committee, in exploratory talks which led to the merger of the four original brotherhoods, the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and Switchmen's Union of North America. On December 10, 1968, Canadian members overwhelmingly voted in favour of the United Transportation Union, whose Constitutional foundation is built on the autonomy and protection of all crafts who are part of the organization. The first International Officers of the United Transportation Union were the incumbent leaders of the four merging brotherhoods.

The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada Click on the icons to have access to the photo collection The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada was proposed in 1851 as the main trunk line through the United Province of Canada. It was formally incorporated in 1852 to build a railway from Toronto to Montreal. At the time, the GTR desired a rail access to Portland, Maine, a seaport that could be used all year long ( the port of Montreal closed each winter). Accordingly, in 1853, the company amalgamated with the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, acquiring its line between Montreal and the Canada-United States border. It also leased the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad line from the border to Portland. The original track gauge (the distance between the two rails) of this line was 5-foot 6-inches. The GTR adopted this gauge for all their lines but later, in 1873, converted their lines to the "Standard" gauge of four-feet-eight and one half inches. A bridge over the St. Lawrence River to connect this line to Montreal was required. Construction of the Victoria Bridge began in 1854, and the first train operated over it in 1859. After its formation, the GTR proceeded immediately with the construction between Montreal and Toronto. This line was opened for traffic in 1856. During this period, other railway construction had been undertaken west of Toronto, towards Guelph and Stratford. This line was extended to Sarnia, in 1859. A ferry service was then established across the St. Clair River to Fort Gratiot (now Port Huron, Michigan). This service was later replaced by the St. Clair Tunne, which was opened for railway traffic in September 1891.
