...stupendous Canadian air stretch, and one which counts more to the Dominion, is the 1,800 miles from Calgary to Herschel Island. The East-West route parallels the Great Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railway systems. Into the far North goes no railroad except the new line from The Pas to Churchill on Hudson Bay.
