Annotation

The intercity electric railway industry in Canada, which began in 1887, ended in 1959. It was never a major industry but its role in the transition of Canadian land transportation from almost sole reliance on the steam railroad to dominance of the motor vehicle should not be overlooked. Professor Due's study, divided into two parts, presents first a general review of the development, characteristics, financial situation, and decline of the industry and then a brief history of each of the twenty-five companies which operated in the industry. (Canadian Studies in Economics, No. 18)
