This book provides the most extensive summary of all railroad legislation in the province of Quebec up to 1870. Spanning a transformative era in which railroads first emerged as a significant factor in the development of North America, it includes legislation enabling the construction of major railways through both rural and urban areas in the province. Quebec played a pivotal role in the early development of rail in Canada. Many of the legislative concepts in this book were groundbreaking for their time and provided a model for other jurisdictions.
