Thanks very much for this very useful reference. I found my great-uncle's railroad employment record on the collectionscanada.gc.ca site, which is very nice to have. He lived and worked in North Sydney from 1912 onwards, and died about 1955. That record is one more interesting footnote to the family tree.

I have been advised of two websites that might be worth checking: http://www.novascotiarailwayheritage.com/index.htm http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/black-porters/index-e.html?PHPS ESSID=7ard46e7imq1ng1o5cjpg7h6g2 The second one does not refer only to black porters, despite its description.
