Product Information
The Soo Line's Famous Trains To Canada is a brief history of a small and unique Class 1 railway and its famous Canada-USA tourist trains. Initially chartered in 1883 to serve the needs of local millers in Minneapolis, the Soo would eventually come to join the Canadian Pacific line at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with service to Montreal. In 1888, Canadian Pacific assumed controlling interest in the Soo Line, providing entry into the lucrative US market and levelling the playing field for the CPR to face the onslaught of ferocious competition from James J. Hill, the infamous American railway baron. The "little railway that could" grew to attain giant-killer status, launching famous passenger trains from Minneapolis and St. Paul, meeting head-on the western expansion of the Great Northern Railway and viable, competitive routes to the Atlantic seaboard. Over the years, the Soo Line introduced thousands of Americans to Montreal and Quebec City, the famous Canadian Rockies resorts, and the city of Vancouver, the home port for CP's Pacific steamship services. The Soo also successfully competed on the Spokane and Portland routes from Minneapolis to the Pacific Northwest. In 1923 the "Soo Mountaineer" was launched, becoming the most famous and longest "two-nation" train journey in North America.

Reviews
"All aboard the Soo Line! With his new book The Soo Line's Famous Trains to Canada , author and historian Terry Gainer has taken a seemingly arcane subject and injected life and passion into it. Terry unravels the complex story of early railway expansion in western Canada and the US Midwest with his gift for storytelling, meticulous research and generous use of vintage photographs. He also sorts out, in an informative and entertaining way, the corporate intrigue and personal rivalries which drove the expansion westward. But it's Terry's personal connection to the Soo Line's Mountaineer route which makes this journey through early railway history so fascinating. He has enhanced the railway legacy of North America with this book, which complements his two previously published volumes. Terry Gainer has once again proven to be a fresh voice in the discourse on early railway development. All aboard the Soo Line indeed!" --Keith G. Powell , publisher, author, vice-chair of the Cranbrook History Centre "Terry Gainer's The Soo Line's Famous Trains to Canada details the passenger trains on this storied line, now a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Gainer provides an overview of the line's history before launching into the Soo's passenger trains, including the Mountaineer, which travelled a two-country, 2,600-mile route for decades. I particularly enjoyed reading about Gainer's experiences with this train while he was working at the Banff station. They add a human dimension that is sometimes lacking in railway history books. Highly recommended as the third in a great trilogy." --Steve Boyko , author, photographer, host of the blog traingeek.ca "With each of his books, Terry Gainer's research deepens, his storytelling expands and his combination of images with text becomes more profound. All of that brings additional reading pleasure to The Soo Line's Famous Trains to Canada , Gainer's third engaging volume of little-known train stuff and fascinating lore, all told with a railway guy's boundless love of his topic." --Rick Antonson , author of Train Beyond the Mountains, "All aboard the Soo Line!
