Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the proceedings of the Quebec and Richmond Railway Company's second Annual General Meeting, with the author providing an insightful overview of the company's first year of operations. The author provides a concise report of the Board of Director's decisions, with further reports included on the engineering details of the railway and the auditing of accounts, all presented in an informative and accessible manner. Of particular interest is the Board's decision to authorize an expansion of the railway as part of a larger 'Main Trunk Line'. The significance of this extension lies in its expected role as part of a grand railway network connecting Canada's major cities and the United States. The author's inclusion of details regarding the impact such a network will have on industry and trade makes for a compelling read for anyone interested in the development of North American infrastructure in the 19th century. Its insights into the development of Canada's railway system make this book a fine addition to the library of any historian or rail enthusiast.
