Canadian Pacific Railway Canadian Stuff, eh? Tracker Carved October 2010 Founded in 1881 to link Canada's populated centres with the vast potential of its relatively unpopulated West. Completed 6 years ahead of schedule on November 7, 1885, when the last spike was driven at Craigellachie, British Columbia. Briefly known as CP Rail from 1968-1996, Canadian Pacific Railway is an historic Canadian Class I railway headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. A beaver was chosen as the railway's logo because it is one of the national symbols of Canada and represents the hardworking character of the company. www.cpr.ca Record your find at AQ. |
