Sub-sub-series consists of records acquired and accumulated by the Office of the Chief Engineer relating to the Intercolonial and Prince Edward Island Railways, 1877-1906. The Intercolonial Railway was originally developed as a means of providing rail communication between Upper and Lower Canada and the Maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Construction commenced at various locations in the early 1850s, and portions of the line between Halifax and Rivière-du-Loup were completed by 1860. When Confederation was achieved in 1867, the new Dominion government assumed ownership of all government- built lines in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and responsibility for extending the lines into an intercolonial system. One of the government's first tasks was to connect the lines already completed, which included Halifax to Truro and Saint John to Shediac, and to construct the line from Truro to Rivière-du-Loup to connect with the GTR. The entire line was opened for traffic on 1 July 1876. The Intercolonial Railway was operated by the government until 1918 and was the direct responsibility of the Department of Railways and Canals.

Construction of a railway on Prince Edward Island connecting Alberton and Georgetown was authorized by the provincial government in April 1871. When the Island entered Confederation in July 1873, the railway, then under construction, became the property of the Dominion government. The line was completed and opened for traffic on 4 January 1875. Various branch lines were added in 1885, 1905, 1908 and 1912. By the end of World War I, the Prince Edward Island Railway extended from Tignish to Georgetown, and from Charlottetown to Murray Harbour, with branches to Souris, Elmira and Cape Traverse. The Intercolonial Railway and the Prince Edward Island Railway became known in the early 1890s as the Canadian Government Railways and remained as such until amalgamated with the Canadian Northern Railway to form Canadian National Railways in December 1918.

The records in this sub-sub-series include registers of letters received concerning both railways, 1877-1882, and for the period when they were referred to as Canadian Government Railways, 1883-1906 (Vols. 743-747, 752-758); and registers of letters received, 1884-1906, from David Pottinger who served as Chief Superintendent of the Intercolonial Railway, 1879-1892, and General Manager of Canadian Government Railways, 1892-1909, which included both the Intercolonial and Prince Edward Island Railways (Vols. 763-767). This sub-sub-series also includes indexes to letters sent between 1881 and 1896 from the Office of the Chief Engineer in Ottawa to Pottinger (Vols. 759-762).
