This fine silver collectable coin commemorates Canada's transcontinental railways, which played a vital role on the home front during the First World War. Canada's three transcontinental railway systems were responsible for moving thousands of troops, millions of cargo that maintained Canada's wartime economy, and weapons and supplies destined for shipping overseas to Canada's allies. These railway systems played an important part in Canada's nation-building by opening up Canada's west to increased settlement, while linking cities, ports, and industries across this expansive territory.
