Description:

Railroaded: The Untold History of Halifax's Rail Cut is a story about how powerless citizens are when their elected government decides it wants something they have including their homes in a desperate grasp at a prosperous future. Grumbling about the city's subpar performance in the movement of goods, people, and mail had become a time-honoured pastime. Halifax was the closest big Canadian port to Europe, but more than forty-five years after Confederation, rail and shipping services to the city were not making the grade.
