Instructions From the Engineer in Chief to the Staff offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Canadian Pacific Railway during its formative years. This collection of instructions, divided into five key sections, provides detailed insights into the railway's operations. The sections include: Explorations and Surveys; The Purveyor's Branch; Location and Construction; Organization of the Engineering Staff; and Location of Stations.

Originally compiled by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company under the guidance of Sir Sandford Fleming, these instructions provide invaluable details for understanding the monumental task of building a transcontinental railway in the late 19th century. This document is a vital resource for historians, railway enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the development of Canadian infrastructure and business management during a pivotal era.
