The historical picture of the Last Spike, Canadian Pacific Railway<\/p><\/div>\n

In this photo, you can see a historical ceremony of the so-called last spike, pounded into the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was done by Donald Smith, an industrialist who was the leading investor behind the first railway that reached the Canadian Pacific shore.<\/span><\/p>\n

This railway project passed through the long story of financial crises, workers strikes, and natural disasters. It had become a national symbol of unity of the people of Canada by the time the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Engineers of CPR had decided to move its last western station from Port Moody to Granville, which was renamed “Vancouver” later that year. That was a bit of historical luck for this town, making it a perspective settlement of the Pacific shore. It took three months for the first official train to arrive in Vancouver on 23 May 1887. The CPR quickly became profitable, and all loans from the Federal government were repaid years ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The historical meaning of Canadian Pacific Railway<\/b><\/p>\n

This railway led to almost nowhere at the beginning, and many experts doubted the usefulness of the transportation arteria in the wilderness. But Donald Smith believed that colonization of the Canadian West had tremendous potential, and thus invested his funds and requested 25 million acres (100,000 km2) from the government in order to complete this project.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPR led to migration waves streaming to the West, stimulated by the railway office itself. Their agents were promoting an idea of settlement in central and western parts of Canada overseas, and particularly in Eastern Europe. The land was relatively cheap ($2.50 per acre) and immigrants were often sold a package that transportation to the final destination point. To transport immigrants, Canadian Pacific developed a fleet of over a thousand Colonist cars, low-budget sleeper cars designed to transport immigrant families from eastern Canadian seaports to the West.<\/span><\/p>\n
