Dominion Land Grant to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Folded rectangle of paper on the outside is the basics of the deal and the the inside folds out into a large certificate. The certificate is legal confirmation of a deal in which the British government gave the Canadian Pacific Railway land in Manitoba to build its railway on.

The “Peanut”

A steam locomotive is seen pulling several train cars on a Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) ‘Spur Line’ running between Reston, Manitoba and Wolseley, Saskatchewan from 1908 to 1961. It was affectionately named “Peanut” as its whistle resembled the sound of a peanut vendor’s cart.
