Biografie
Plans for the construction of a railway between Edmonton to Fort McMurray -- The Alberta and Great Waterways Railway -- began in 1905. However, the project was not realized until considerable disagreements between the various construction companies and the Alberta Provincial Government ended, and J.D. McArthur builders assumed the project in 1913. In 1920, the Province of Alberta took over management of the railway. In 1928, the Province of Alberta sold the railroad to Canadian Pacific Railways and Canadian National Railways. Under joint ownership, the two railways formed the independent company Northern Alberta Railways (NAR), and NAR acquired responsibility for the Alberta and Great Waterways line.
