MacDonald’s railway research reaching new audiences
Nice to see Herb MacDonald (Cape Breton Railways: An Illustrated History) is continuing to publish and present his railway-related research. His article “If it sounds too good to be true,” in Canadian Rail (journal of Canadian Railroad Historical Association), is an excerpt from his book and covers Cape Breton’s south coast railway project and the St. Peter’s branch. Canadian Rail, 560 (May –June) 2014, pp 95-109.
Herb and Robert Tennant (also of Halifax) recently presented a paper entitled “The Intercolonial Railway Idea in British North America: 1835-1864,” at the Early Main Lines Railway History Conference, Caernarfon, Wales, U.K., June 2014. Their article will be published in conference volume in the U.K., 2015.
