Synopsis
William Cornelius Van Horne and the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
For armchair railroaders, historians, students - anyone fascinated by Canadian history - Van Horne's Road is a pictorial history of the railroad that forged a nation.

Writer, editor, and lecturer Omer Lavallue (1925 - 1992) was long considered one of Canada's most knowledgeable transportation historians. Until his retirement as Corporate Historian and Archivist for Canadian Pacific, Mr. Lavallue had spent a total of 44 years with that organization. His life's work earned him many distinctions and awards including the Senior Achievement Award in Railroad History from the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society in 1987.
