WHEN THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY S TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE WAS COMPLETED
SIX YEARS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, CPR GENERAL MANAGER WILLIAM C. VAN HORNE
INSISTED THAT ANY CEREMONIES TO COMMEMORATE THE EVENT BE KEPT INFORMAL,
DECLARING: THERE IS TO BE NO GOLDEN SPIKE DRIVEN ON THE COMPLETION OF
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC AND NO EXCURSION TO CELEBRATE THE EVENT. THE LAST
SPIKE WILL PROBABLY BE DRIVEN BY ONE OF OUR TRACK-LAYING GANG AND WILL
BE AN IRON ONE. A MAN OF ACTION, WILLIAM C. VAN HORNE WAS THE PRIME
MOVER OF THE CPR, AN ORGANIZATION HEADING TOWARD FINANCIAL DISASTER WHEN
HE TOOK CONTROL IN 1881. DESCRIBED AS A HUMAN DYNAMO FOR HIS ENERGY
AND IMAGINATION, THE TIRELESS RAILWAY TYCOON CONDUCTED THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS TOWARD THE AIM OF UNITING THE CANADIAN EAST AND WEST, CHISELLING
ACCESS THROUGH WHAT WAS HERALDED AS IMPASSABLE TERRAIN, INCLUDING THE
CANADIAN SHIELD, ROCKY MOUNTAINS, AND FRASER VALLEY. BORN IN ILLINOIS
IN 1843, BY THE TIME HE WAS 38 YEARS OLD, VAN HORNE ALREADY HAD 25
YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE RAILWAY BUSINESS, STARTING AS A MESSAGE
DELIVERY BOY AND TELEGRAPHER AND RISING TO PROMINENCE IN THE UNITED
STATES BEFORE COMING TO STEER CANADA S NATIONAL RAILWAY PROJECT. LATER
ASSUMING THE ROLE OF CPR PRESIDENT, VAN HORNE ALSO BECAME ONE OF
CANADA S FOREMOST FINANCIERS AND ART COLLECTORS, CAPPING HIS CAREER BY
OPENING CUBA S INTERIOR WITH A RAILWAY. AFTER TURNING DOWN THE HONOUR
TWICE, VAN HORNE WAS KNIGHTED BY QUEEN VICTORIA FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS
TOWARD CANADIAN UNITY.
