Canadian
Pacific Railway Railroad Logos 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 |
