Canadian Northern

Company History: CNoR was established in 1899 to consolidate the Manitoba railroad holdings of Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. CNoR would ultimately expand their line from Quebec City, Quebec (as well as southern Ontario and Nova Scotia) west to Ottawa, Ontario; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Edmonton, Alberta; and finally Vancouver, British Columbia. The golden spike was driven in 1915. With insufficient revenue to cover the construction debt, CNoR was nationalized in 1918 and combined with Canadian Government Railways to form Canadian National. CNoR formally ceased to exist in 1923.

Brief History: Canada is a North American country stretching from the U.S. in the south to the Arctic Circle in the north. Major cities include massive Toronto, west coast film centre Vancouver, French-speaking Montréal and Québec City, and capital city Ottawa. Canada's vast swaths of wilderness include lake-filled Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains. It's also home to Niagara Falls, a famous group of massive waterfalls.
