		Canadian Government Railways was the descriptive name of all federally owned railways in Canada from about the 1880s until 1918, when its operations were combined with the recently nationalized CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY; in the following year the CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS were incorporated to operate both companies.
		The Canadian Government Railways, entrusted to the CN for operation in 1923, still exists as a component of the CN and has 4 principal constituents: the Intercolonial, National Transcontinental, Prince Edward Island, and Hudson Bay railways.
		The final component of Canadian Government Railways was the HUDSON BAY RAILWAY from The Pas to Churchill, Manitoba.

	Canadian National
		CN was created in late 1918 from the merger of a number of insolvent and government-controlled railways, the most significant members being: Canadian Government Railways (consitituting the former Canadian Northern and Intercolonial Railways) and the Grand Trunk Pacific.
		In 1923 their formation was completed with the addition of the Grand Trunk Railway.
		Canadian National data has been taken from the following ORERs (MM/YY): 1/1919, 10/1919, 4/1920-5/1920, 8/1920-9/1920, 1/1921-2/1921, 8/1921, 10/1921, 1/1922, 5/1922, 8/1922, 11/1922, 2/1923, 6/1923-7/1923, 9/1923-10/1923 & 12/1923-4/2007.

		Railways are one of the factors in establishing the relative economic condition of various areas.
		Canadian trains, stopping at many stations, have a great deal of express carrying to do - what the railroads call "head—end work." This is increasing, rather than diminishing, because the flag stops of a few years ago have become more than that, and the increasing population clustered around them must be served.
		In fact, Canadian railways have been projected and built as manifestations of public policy, often with financial assistance recommended by the government, agreed to by Parliament and paid for by the people of the country.
