Pada tahun 1881 sampai 1885, rel kereta hanya mencakup Kanada Timur sampai British Columbia, menjadikannya jalur rel trans benua pertama di Kanada. Pengoperasian pertama mengutamakan angkutan barang, dan perlahan meningkatkan jumlah armada kereta penumpang. CPR menjadi saksi perkembangan kolonialisasi dan perekonomian di sebagian besar wilayah tersebut, dan menjadi perusahaan terkuat di Kanada.[2]
