Description: Canada: RV, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. VHS video tape with case. "During World War II Canadian railway companies took to the challenge on land, sea, and even in the air. With their ranks growing close to 200,000 railway workers made a major contribution to the war effort. They transported vital raw materials to war factories, then carried the finished goods to the coast and overseas. They even built ships, tanks, and other weapons. Throughout the war the railways were the only quick and effective means of carrying the millions of passengers and the hundreds of millions of tons of war supplies vital to winning the war. This video documents this important time in Canadian railway history through rare film footage and photos of railways in action... Includes a segment on the Royal Tour of 1939 and the 12 car Royal Train which carried the King and Queen on their cross-Canada tour." - from case. Black and white and colour, 50 minutes.
