Synopsis
Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Projected North-West Railway of Canada: With a Description of the Extent
Fully impressed with the belief that the establish ment of the proposed avenue of commerce would confer substantial and lasting benefits on the City of Toronto and on the Whole extent of country it would intersect and accommodate from Guelph N orth Westerly; and convinced that the true and perhaps the only way to bring the undertaking to a successful issue is for the various Municipal bodies interested, to promote its initiation by liberal subscriptions or guarantees; the Provisional Directors, desirous that the matter should be fairly and fully placed before them, have much satisfaction in submitting the Re port of the Engineer to their consideration.
The valuable correspondence on the local benefits of Railways, as well as the various articles on the growth and trade of the great North-west in reference to prospective through traffic, to which Mr. Fleming alludes, are so extremely interesting and important that they are given in full in Appendices.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a preliminary report by engineer Sandford Fleming on a proposed railway line in Canada in the 19th century.

He explores the availability of resources like water, timber, and building materials, along with the potential economic benefits the railway would provide local and provincial economies. The report also includes observations on the physical features, settlement, and agricultural practices of the region. It highlights fertile land, a high yield of crops like wheat and corn, and the promising growth of turnips. The author discusses the effects of the railway on the area's future development and agricultural progress and offers an optimistic outlook on the potential of the railway to transform the region.
