Chapleau and the
Canadian Pacific Railway

Presented by the Chapleau Public Library

Typical train crew in 1912, taken on the back of their van in the Chapleau C.P.R. yard. From left to right, conductor Louis Brunette, brakeman Peter Blackburn and brakeman Hilaire Martin. (One of these men might have been the engineer as Vince Crichton lists two brakemen but refers to this as a typical train crew.)
