Canadian Engineers. Canadian Tramways Company, 2nd : The 2nd Canadian Tramways Company, Canadian Engineers had its origins in October 1916 when one section of the Composite Pioneer Company became the Canadian Light Railway Company. It was redesignated as the Canadian Light Railway Construction Company in November 1917 and became the 2nd Tramways Company, Canadian Engineers in February 1918. The 2nd Canadian Tramways Company was commanded by Captain C.R. Crysdale and was demobilized at Seaford in January 1919.
Tramways Companies, Canadian Engineers built, maintained and operated light railways in forward areas. The gage used was 60-centimetre and the cars were interchangeable with the Army Light Railway System. The trains were powered with petrol because they operated beyond the point where it was considered safe to use steam power. Tramways carried ammunition to artillery batteries, engineering supplies, troops, rations, gas and other comparatively light loads. They also ran hospital trains to carry the wounded to field ambulance stations.Additional information:Accruals:No further accruals are expected.Source:GovernmentFormer archival reference no.:RG9-III-C-5 -
