Magnetic North: Canadian Steam in Twilight
Roger Cook, Karl Zimmermann
Boston MIlls Press, November 1999

Magnetic North is an inspiring chronicle of the brief, bright moment when steam locomotives ran their final miles in Eastern Canada, a time when the certainty of their demis made their presence all the sweeter. From the moment Karl Zimmermann and Roger Cook packed their bags in May of 1958 and boarded a sleeper for Montreal, they were hooked on Canadian steam. They arrived just in time to see and record the end of an era. In a sense, Zimmerman and Cook have been collaborating on this book for 40 years. In carefully wrought esssays and in photographs selected from among many hundreds made by the authors and other outstanding railway photographers, this books is a vision of classic steam railroading rendered with first-person immediacy.

Steel Across the Plains: Canada Moves West
Pierre Berton
McClelland & Stewart, September 1992

The Canadian Pacific Railway was a dream some said would never come true. Yet, by the end of 1883, William Cornelius Van Horne had his wish come true. Using more than 7,000 men and 2,000 teams of horses, Canada was linked together by a ribbon of steel. From Lake Superior to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the path was open for white settlers -- and signalled an end to the traditional way of life for the Natives. All that remained was to put the railway through he mountains and across to the Pacific. Pierre Berton's Steel Across the Plains is a tribute to Van Horne and his dream, as well as to the communities of Medicine Hat and Regina, among others. This book is the fourth in a series for young readers about the exploration of the Canadian west.

The Last Spike: "The Great Railway, 1881-1885"
Pierre Berton
Doubleday Canada, August 2001

In the four years between 1881 and 1885, Canada was forged into one nation by the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Last Spike reconstructs the incredible story of how some 2,000 miles of steel crossed the continent in just five years - exactly half the time stipulated in the contract. Pierre Berton recreates the adventures that were part of this vast undertaking: the railway on the brink of bankruptcy, with one hour between it and ruin; the extraordinary land boom of Winnipeg in 1881-1885; and the epic tale of how William Van Horne rushed 3,000 soldiers over a half-finished railway to quell the Riel Rebellion.

Dominating the whole saga are the men who made it all possible -- a host of astonishing characters; Van Horne, the powerhouse behind the vision of transcontinental railroad; Rogers, the eccentric surveyor; Onderdonk, the cool New Yorker; Stephen, the most emotional of businessmen; Father Lacombe, the black robed voyageur; Sam Steele, of the North West Mounted Police; Gabriel Dumont, the Prince of the Prairies; more than 7,000 Chinese workers, toiling and dying in the canyons of the Fraser Valley; and many more -- land sharks, construction geniuses, politicans, and entrepreneurs -- all of whom played a role in the founding of the new Canada west of Ontario.

The National Dream: "The Great Railway 1871-1881"
Pierre Berton
Doubleday Canada, August 2001

In 1871, a tiny nation, just four years old - it's population well below the 4 million mark -- determined that it would build the world's longest railroad across empty country, much of it unexplored. This decision -- bold to the point of recklessness -- was to change the lives of every man, woman and child in Canada and alter the shape of the nation. Using primary sources -- diaries, letters, unpublished manuscripts, public documents and newspapers -- Pierre Berton has receonstructed the incredible decade of the 1870s, when Canadians of every stripe -- contractors, politicians, financiers, surveyors, workingmen, journalists and entrepreneurs -- fought for the railway, or against it.

The National Dream is above all else the story of people. It is the sotry of George McMullen, the brash young promoter who tried to blackmail the Prime Minister: of Marcus Smith, the crusty surveyor, so suspicious of authority he thought the Governor General was speculating in railway lands, of Sanford Fleming, the great engineer who invented Standard Time but who couldn't make up his mind about the best route for the railway. All these figures, and dozens more includeing the political leaders of the era, come to life with all their human ambitions and failings.

In writing The Railway King of Canada, historican R.B. Fleming spent a decade piecing together the life of one of Canada's greatest entrepreneurs, Sir William Mackenzie. In an era when the entrepreneur has come to be seen as a media hero, it is ironic that Mackenzie is largely forgotten by all but a few historians and railway aficionados. With a business empire spanning from British Columbia to Rio de Janeiro, Mackenzie spearheaded some of the most technologically advanced projects of the early 20th century, found such major institutions as Canadian National Railways and the Toronto Transit Commission.

Zondervan Publishing House, February 1995

After the birth of Canada, the government announced it would be building a railway. But this was no ordinary train track. This massive undertaking would result in 1,600 kilometres of steel going through the Canadian Shield, across the mountains, and all the way to the Pacific ocean! There was one problem, however. Most of the proposed route was sparsely populated and consisted of extremely rough terrain. Pierre Berton's The Railway Pathfinders follows engineers, surveyors and explorers across nearly impossible land.

The history of Newfoundland is a long and rich one, but perhaps no incident in the province's past has excited as much curiosity and fascination as that of the School on Wheels.
