Hi Larry! I couldn't help noticing that you use to work for the CN. Would you have any idea if I could contact the CN about their former employees for genealogical purposes? My great grandpa apparently was the General Chairman of the Brotherhood for the CN (in the Maritimes) for a number of years. Also, if this is possible do you have any idea as to who to contact?
