Across Canada, Canadian National Railways, 1925

The main source for this post is a book of photos promoting travel across Canada 
which was produced by the Canadian National Railways in 1925. 

Maps from the book are included after the eastern and western sections 
to show the extent of the CNR system in 1925.

Care has been taken to ensure that no provinces are left out.
