Grand Trunk Corporation is complete in its detail, giving new insight into the turbulent era of deregulation, free trade, repositioning of basic industry, and the realities of the new economic order along with Canadian National's expectations for all three railroads: Grand Trunk Western, Central Vermont, and Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific.
