Ted Rafuse Author Steampower Publishing Books Canadian Railway Strait of Canso


Reviews

Branchline, April 2004 (Bytown Railway Society)

This is a book that is endlessly fascinating. Ted has painstakingly researched every detail of the history of the Company and the identity of the purchasers, to the final disposition of each car produced during the life of this industrial operation.

Canadian Railway Modeller, T10T2 (North Kildonan Publications)
This is a well researched and nicely written book, full of stories of frightening winter storms, on board fires, moonlight dance cruises and kids diving off the docks for coins thrown into the water. It (Coal to Canada) is very readable and full of modelling and historic information.
