	Canadian National Railway - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Canadian National Railway
		In December 1999, Canadian National Railway agreed to a merger with Burlington Northern to create North American Railways, expected to become North America's largest railway system, with 50,000 mi/80,000 km of track stretching across the USA and the more populous parts of Canada.
		The Canadian National Railway came into being when the government acquired the stock of several companies that had run into financial difficulties in attempting to complete an alternative transcontinental route to the Canadian Pacific.
		In the east, the Grand Trunk itself, operating with government backing as the National Transcontinental Railway, had driven a line from Moncton, New Brunswick, via Québec City (where the Québec Bridge was completed in 1905–17 despite two disastrous collapses) and across the Canadian Shield in Québec and Ontario, to Winnipeg.
