Commissioners of the Transcontinental Railway (Canada) : Under an Act of Parliament (3 Edward VII, 71, 24 October 1903), provision was made for the construction of a National Transcontinental Railway. This railway was to be constructed as two divisions, one, the Eastern Division, from Moncton to Winnipeg and one, the Western Division between Winnipeg and the Pacific Ocean. The construction was to be supervised by a board of commissioners forming "The Commissioners of the Transcontinental Railway". The Commissioners of the Transcontinental Railway were F.B. Wade (Chairman), Young, Reid and Brunet. The first meeting was held on the 29 August 1904. By Order in Council (P.C. 115, 20 January 1923) authorized by federal statute 13 1917, the National Transcontinental Railway was entrusted to the Canadian National Railway Company for management and operation.

As part of the process of acquiring land for the Eastern Division of the National Transcontinental Railway, it was necessary to expropriate land and transfer ownership to the Commissioners of the Transcontinental Railway. In 1912, the construction of the National Transcontinental Railway (NTR) (Eastern Division), and its operation until completed and leased to the GTPR, was placed under the control of one commissioner, R.W. Leonard (NA, P.C. 807, April 4, 1912). In 1914, after the failure of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company to take over the line by lease, as agreed, the Minister of Railways and Canals was authorized to act as Commissioner of the line and to operate it as a government railway (S.C. 1914[1]. c.43). By 1919, the minister's role was expanded to operate the lines and properties of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company and its constituents and subsidiaries as Receiver (P.C. 1919-517[March 7]).
