The North End was also called "C.P.R. Town" for the obvious reason that the massive facilities of the railway were in this district. They included a large station, locomotive shops, a store and office building, a foundry, freight car shops, a power house, a scrap yard, and immense marshalling yards (120 miles of track and space for 10,000 cars). By 1911, over 3,500 persons were employed by the C.P.R. and most lived in the North End.
