WAR EFFORTS — WORLD WAR II

With the outbreak of World War II, the entire CPR network was again at the disposal of the Allied war effort. On land, the CPR moved 307 million tons of freight and 86 million passengers; including 150,000 soldiers, nearly 130,000 army and air force re-patriots, and thousands of sailors.

At sea, 22 CPR ships went to war with 12 of them being sunk, including the CPR’s largest passenger ship ever, which was almost as big as the Titanic — the Empress of Britain II.

In the air, the CPR pioneered the “Atlantic Bridge” – the transatlantic ferrying of bombers to Britain. The CPR set up pilot training schools and opened Canada’s strategic far north, creating Canadian Pacific Air Lines in 1942.

WAR EFFORTS — WORLD WAR I

From the outset of war the CPR put the entire resources of the company at the British Empire’s disposal. This during the CPR’s heyday, when the railway was much more than just a railway. Not only were the railway’s trains and tracks at the British Empire’s disposal, but also its ships, shops, hotels, telegraphs, and, above all, its people.

Aiding the war effort meant transporting and billeting troops, building and supplying arms and munitions; arming, lending and selling ships.
