I had a great time at this site! Found so much information on my husband's NB ancestors. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/black-porters/index-e.html Introduction The provident fund for retirees of the Intercolonial and Prince Edward Island Railway was established in 1907. This research tool provides access to 21,710 references to people who received allowances, including Black Porters. -----Original Message----- From: JohnMxzz@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 3:14 PM To: newbrunswick@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ NB ] Railroad Hi; Did you fine a site for NB Railroad?

I do apologize for my delay in responding to these queries, I have been in Massachussets. Where New Brunswick railway records are concerned, you must be careful to distinguish which railway is involved. Canadian Pacific Railway's records are available through their archive at: http://www8.cpr.ca/cms/English/General+Public/Heritage/default.htm There will/may be costs involved in obtaining this information. Information about employees of the Intercolonial Railway Pre-Canadian National Railways) and European & North American Railway (pre-Intercolonial Railway) may be obtained at no charge from a number of on-line sources. Rather than list them here, I will send anyone interested a PDF file of the Nova Scotia Railway Heritage Society's brochure "Tracking your railway ancestor" which offers URLS to many sites from which New Brunswick employee information can be obtained. You should also be aware that information from1923 onward is NOT avalable due to federal Privacy Act conditions.

John: I am also interested in Patriqins (note my spelling) from New Brunswick railways, especially James Alexander Patriquin, who was section foreman of the Intercolonial Railway on the Sackville and Sussex subs. His daughter died in the 1896 "Penny Wreck" at Palmer Pond NB. My wife is a Patriquin from Cumberland County NS. Her grandfather, Ellsworth Patriquin was a former CN conductor, and later station caretaker at Greenville Station NS.
