Looks like FW & PA had quite the web of tracks, back in the day. So, your comment about Empire Ave? being so wide. Is this because there were multiple tracks or there was street running with the residential or businesses on both sides? Nice looking CP building. If you could get permission to take some pictures inside, if there is still anything original left to see, thumbs up.

The 1913 map I have in the video, which you can see better with the link below, shows the GTP tracks running along the north side of the street, which appears to be wider than usual (or it could just be me). padwrr.com/grand-trunk-pacific-railway/fort-william-gtp/ I think I saw the inside of the station many moons ago, but it would be nice to see it again (and the CN station as well).

No snow!

Very unusual for March for sure.

At 14:18 you state that in 1960 Canadian National Railways became Canadian National Railway (singular). This is an incorrect assertion that has been echoed by Wikipedia entry covering CN. The "Railways" name continued until 1995 when CN transitioned from a Crown Corporation to a publicly traded private company.

Fair enough.

@@padwrr But I need to express my thanks for showing what has happened to this stretch of CNoR. My interest is not a profound as yours but I'm in SoCal and have no shortage of Pacific Electric lines to trace. Thank You.

Glad you're enjoying the videos. This one in particular is Grand Trunk Pacific, but I'm also still working on the Canadian Northern lines. It certainly keeps me out of trouble. Best of luck with your work.
