My g-grandfather worked for a railroad company in the 1890.s in Debec N.B., (outside Woodstock). Where could I find out what company that might have been?

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.

One of the best NB railway resources I have found is Daniel Johnson's NB Newspaper archives: http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NewspaperVitalStats/default.aspx?culture=en-CA rf you use search terms like a family name and "railway" you may be nicely surprised. A great number of NB's pbivate railways were absorned into CN in 1919, but the railway that ran through Debec towards Houlton ME, was absorbed by the CPR, so the CPR archive might be the best place to start.
