The Chignecto Ship Railway was a rail project conceived civil engineer Henry Ketchum in the early 1870s In Liverpool he became a merchant, ship owner, militia captain, Justice of the Peace, Nova Scotia affecting the flow of immigrants into Annapolis, Minas, and Chignecto. Of the Underground Railroad, the Gold Rush, and the New England Planters. Crowds of immigrants being processed, long train journey to Toronto. bourers transformed them into inexpensive sailing ships for transport- ing bulk lengthy delays and competition from the Nova Scotia Railway led to the failure Road transport such as car or bus is the most common mode of transportation for inter-city transport. Air transportation is also common, but on a lesser degree. Railway transport The proposed Chignecto Ship Railway would be 17 miles long in a straight line from Fort Lawrence on the Bay of Fundy to Tidnish on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with a dock at each end. Ships would be raised hydraulic lift from the water onto the railway, drawn two locomotives across the isthmus, and then lowered into the water to resume their journey. terminus construction phase of his Chignecto Marine Transport Railway The CMTR project was intended to haul tall ships 17 miles rail between the Bay LaPlanche Street is the historic connector between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada.Located on the Isthmus of Chignecto, LaPlanche crosses the Tantramar Marshes between Amherst, NS and Sackville, NB.Historically, it hosted the key forts of peninsular Nova Scotia and continental Acadia and witnessed the Battle of Fort Beauséjour, the key battle between the two colonies during the Seven The cost, feasibility and advantage of a ship railway across the isthmus of Chignecto.

Chignecto ship railway power station and lifting dock under construction at Bay of Fundy end. One of the most interesting experiences for boaters on the Trent-Severn Waterway is to have their vessels transported the Big Chute Marine Railway when entering or leaving at the Georgian Bay End. It was Ketchum's belief that "ship-railways" were the way of the future and the only truly reasonable solution to the problems of nineteenth-century transportation. As a result of his proposals, the Chignecto Marine Transport Railway Company was incorporated in 1882. The Chignecto Ship Railway died and with it the whole idea of ship railways. Ketchum knew one could not live without the other, writing: The safe transit of a ship in cargo across the Isthmus of Chignecto will be the signal for many other ship railway schemes to begin construction. THE CHIGNECTO SHIP RAILWAY: A 19TH CENTURY ENGINEERING INNOVATION. This paper follows the proposed Chignecto Marine Transport Railway from its inception through its partial construction to its eventual demise. It deals with the technical, economic, and political aspects of this major, innovative 19th century Canadian civil engineering project. (A) These two oblique aerial views show the right of way of the Chignecto Ship Railway and the remnants of the terminus at the Amherst, NS end and on the northen end at the Tidnish River. This project which was driven Henry G.C. Ketchum foundered about 1895. Born in New Brunswick in 1839, Ketchum was a proven and able engineer. It was Ketchum's belief that "ship-railways" were the way of the future and the only reasonable solution to the problems of nineteenth-century transportation. As a result of his proposals, the Chignecto Marine Transport Railway Company was incorporated in 1882. Just over a century ago, work commenced on the Chignecto Marine Transport Railway across the Isthmus of Chignecto. The ship railway involved the use of a hydraulic lift to raise large ships on a wheeled cradle. The cradle and the ship were to be towed A key surface transportation route since the 17th century, the Isthmus of Chignecto was crossed French and later British military roads to the Tantramar Marshes and along the strategic ridges. In 1872, the Intercolonial Railway of Canada constructed a mainline between Halifax, Nova Scotia and Moncton, New Brunswick across the southern Ship Transportation and The Chignecto Ship Railway: H.

The project called for the construction of a 17 mile (28 km) long double-tracked railway from Fort Lawrence on the Bay of Fundy, across the isthmus to Tidnish Dock on the Northumberland Strait.
