A major part of Canadian history is about railways, they seemed to transform Canadian societies into something bigger and better. Before railways Canada had been faced with a problem in the winter which was the lack of transportation, railways seemed to transform Canada by providing jobs, illuminating violence, and creating international connections.

Ever since the beginning of its construction in 1881, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has had a profound impact on Canada’s political, cultural and geographical landscape. What began as an aspect of John A Macdonald’s plan to create a Canada which stretched from sea to sea has since developed into over 200 000 km of railway tracks spanning both Canada and the United States. (“Canadian Pacific Railway,” 2017) Just as predicted by Macdonald, the railway acted as a catalyst for the unification and advancement of what would soon become modern Canada. The CPR greatly contributed to the shaping of Canada’s identity in several major ways; firstly by influencing the growth and development of major cities, secondly by enabling the settlement of

According to the center for international climate and environmental research Canada ranks 5th in having the largest carbon, fossil fuel, land and water consumption footprint in the world. Keeping this staggering stat in mind a few Canadian companies have begun to reverse this trend and lean towards a more sustainable means of operation. On such company is the Canadian national railway company, more popularly known as CN.

It is true that the call by the Morneau 's economic growth council for the creation of a Canadian Infrastructure Development Bank will lead to increase in Canada’s long-run economic growth rate. The first reason why there will be increase in long run economic growth rate is increase in labor and capital productivity (Curry and Silcoff 2016). Improving the infrastructure will lead to efficiency in labor productivity because it will make it easy for workers to travel to work while businesses will have easy access to their goods. Good infrastructure will ensure there is quick and reliable transportation of goods from industries to market leading to long run economic growth.

Canada is a great country but it wouldn't be the same without the Trans Canada Railway. The great achievement of this railway helped form and unite this great country in many ways. These are some of the reasons why I think the CPR helped in forming a strong, united Canada.

Shipping is an inevitable transportation in Canada because almost all Canadian goods are independent from other countries. The first advantage is people will be able to succeed annual shipments. This consequences are people such as shippers, suppliers and owners in companies can work full years and this makes them possible to earn more money than usual shipments. Also, goods are available to get no matter when it is, so buyers can get both normal and seasonal goods. The second effect is shipping is one of the smart-saving fuel system and reasonable due to carry goods. Carrying goods on railways and tracks can be a long way and sometimes stops because of the melting ice roads, however, shipping

Of the three forms of transportation, rail has the highest fixed costs, motor carriers the greatest variable costs, and air transport, the greatest variable costs of service and logistics optimization. Starting with rail, the cost structure has the highest fixed cost components, driven by infrastructure and terminal costs. Rail is therefore the most difficult to negotiate a lower transportation cost for, as the fixed costs form an inflexible pricing structure for retail service providers. The quality of rail service varies significantly across nations and regions as well, leading to greater variability in costs when a shipment moves across national and regional boundaries. Given the highly fixed cost structure of rail systems, there is significant room for improvement from an efficiency standpoint. The use of containerization is continually adding to greater efficiencies to this mode of transport (Jennings, Holcomb, 1996).

Samastipur is an administrative center for the East Central Railway. Mechanical workshop, Samastipur was established in 1881 for overhauling of Steam locomotives, POH of coaches and wagons.
