The work focuses on the impact of railroads on the development of the nation, featuring profiles of influential figures and the history of various railway lines. Through a mix of anecdotal recounting and historical narrative, the book paints a vivid picture of the importance of railways in shaping Canada's infrastructure and economy. The opening of this collection introduces readers to the purpose behind the assembly of essays, emphasizing the need to preserve stories from railway life and the biographies of notable individuals in the industry. Copeland acknowledges that the information, though perhaps incomplete, is meant to capture the spirit of camaraderie among railway men and to celebrate their contributions, which he regards as essential to the nation's progress. The narratives are underscored by a deep appreciation for the historical context, illustrated by references to early railway constructions, interesting events, and the personalities that were pivotal in paving the way for modern transportation in Canada.
