The Trans-Canadian Railways, measuring 7,050 km, connects Halifax in the east to Vancouver on the Pacific Coast, crossing through major cities like Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Calgary. Originally constructed in 1886, it was part of an agreement to unify Canada and has since gained economic importance by linking the Quebec-Montreal Industrial Region with the Prairie Region known for its wheat production and the northern Coniferous Forest region. Each region has become complementary to one another, thereby enhancing trade and resource movement, particularly in wheat and meat exports. This railway line is regarded as the economic artery of Canada, symbolizing how effective transport networks can foster regional interdependence and economic integration.
