Sir John McDonald and Lady Mc- Donald Ride on Pilot of First Train When a small boy at school the Woodbridge Liberal scribe began the study of the world’s geography. Soon after he had mastered the A, B, C’s, the seed of wanderlust was sown and became deep rooted when he began the study of the Rocky Mountains, and he carried a pent-up desire to see those majestic hills from then until he had reached the voting age. It was at that time of his life that a real opportunity presented itself. Tracklaying on the Canadian Pacific Railway had been completed in the fall of 1885. The C.P.R. secured a 1running privilege over the Inter- colonial R.R. so that when a train ‘took the rail at Halifax on the At- lantic coast, it kept on going until it leached Port Moody, since called Van- couver, on the Pacific coast. It was on Easter Monday, April 26th, 1886, "that he embarked on a trainâ€"not a ‘scheduled oneâ€"at Toronto Union ‘Station. It was a workman’s train carrying about two hundred men bound for the Rockies in the Selkirk Range to which point they were itransported for the purpose of build- ing snow sheds to protect the track from the ravages of snow and land- slides. This was the first train of any kind to take off from Toronto and run through to the Rockies. It travelled over the Ontario and Que- hec line from Toronto to make con- nection with C.P.R. main line at Carleton Place. No section of the road was blasted as yet, and in many parts on the North Shore where the ground was low the train ran through water that reached the fire box of the engine. It was about the 20th of July, 1886, that the first schedule train to leave Halifax came through the Selkirk Range at Rogers Pass bound for the terminal at Port Moody. The snowshed at Rogers Pass was about a mile long and la- bourers were thick with picks, shovels and wheelbarrOWS excavating and preparing foundations for car- penters who did the framing. TWO distinguished passengers occupied seats on the pilot of the engine as the train rumbled down the threeâ€" and-a-half percent grade, and al- though the event was unannounced it was soon learned that the two passengers riding on the pilot were none other than the late Sir John \A. McDonald,, Canada’s Premier at Ithat time, and Lady McDonald, mak- ing a coast to coast trip on the first scheduled train over the new trans- Icontinental line. Bear in mind that [the C.P.R. was just new and possess- ed‘ little or no equipment when com- pared with the trains of palace coaches and sleeping cars of to-day.
