165: Canadian Pacific Railway and the Golden Northwest

from The Roundhouse Podcast

The story of constructing Canada's first transcontinental railway has been explored many times, but how did that railway come to shape immigration policy? David L. Jones, author of New World Dreams: Canadian Pacific Railway and the Golden Northwest, shares how his time as a CP employee enabled him to research this story, and how westward immigration shaped Canada into what it is today. This episode is sponsored by Rapido Trains Inc and by Strasburg Rail Road Mechanical Services.
