The Imperial Limited steam engine on it's first run across Canada in 1900. Reference was supplied by the Toronto Metropolitan Central Library.

In 1899 the Canadian Pacific Railway inaugurated the Imperial Limited, a transcontinental passenger train with an average speed of twenty-nine miles per hour. This cut the traveling time between Montreal to Vancouver from one hundred and thirty-six days to about one hundred hours. It now took about five days, where, before the railway, it took about five months to cross Canada.
