Conduits for expansion and routes for commerce, railways threaded cities together. Since eclipsed by highways and air travel, decades of abandonment has reduced our rail network to bare steel skeleton. Although passenger service has declined, the hotels spawned by Canadian Pacific to serve its once vast transcontinental empire have continued to thrive. Built in 1930 and once the tallest building in the British Commonwealth, the Royal York continues to be a defining element of our skyline.
