About This Item
Vancouver, B.C.: Centre for Transportation Studies. Very Good. 1979. First Edition. Hardcover. "This is a story about dreams, visions, expansion, and reality. It is chiefly concerned with a railway [The BCR] - a relatively small carrier that serves a score of communities within a single province of Canada. It speaks of the importance of that railway to those communities, to its shippers, and to the economy of British Columbia. The problems discussed herein are exceedingly important, and they are growing. They are by no means restricted to the province of British Columbia." - Preface. Deals substantially with the Royal Commission established in an attempt to untangle the many problems experienced by this railway. viii, 346 pages. Clean and unmarked with light wear to original red cloth. Binding tight. A quality copy.; 8vo .
