	Canadian National Railway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Railways, until the rise of the personal automobile and creation of taxpayer-funded all-weather highways, were the only credible long-distance land transportation available in Canada for many years, and as such, their operation consumed a great deal of public and political attention.
		CNR was considered to be competitive with CPR in several areas, notably in Central Canada, prior to the age of the automobile and the dense highway network that grew in Ontario and Quebec.
		CNR was also considered a railway industry leader throughout its time as a Crown corporation in terms of research and development into railway safety systems, logistics management, and in terms of its relationship with labour unions.

	Canadian Northern Pacific Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Northern Pacific Railway was an historic Canadian railway with a main line running between Edmonton, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia.

		These were all operated as part of the CNoR system and were taken over by the Crown upon the creation of the Canadian National Railway in 1918.
