This listing is for the photographed 1960 Canadian National Railways Car Ferry Service Owners Receipt. Dated July 6, 1960, over-stamped "receipt" on obverse. Ticket is for a round-trip ride from Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick to Borden, Prince Edward Island. Very interesting piece of Canadian history!
This ticket was for a car ferry service, popularized in the mid-20th century with the increase of railroad popularity. A car ferry was a type of railway that travelled over bodies of water.
Canadian National Railways (CNR) was incorporated in 1919 by the Canadian Government, made up of a number of bankrupt railways that were taken over by the state. The CNR is still in operation today. Incredibly interesting piece of Canadian railroad history!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
