Seven national corridors linking 26 Canadian cities from Vancouver and Prince Rupert to Halifax, about 9,400 km measured city to city in straight lines (about 11,300 km built, at a route factor of 1.2). Seven links join the network to the United States, including Whitehorse to Fairbanks in Alaska.
The Network Concept
Seven corridors, coast to coast.
The Trans-Canada corridor runs Vancouver–Calgary–Winnipeg–Thunder Bay–Ottawa–Montreal. Six further corridors serve the Prairies, Alberta, the Windsor–Quebec City belt, the Atlantic provinces, the northern Pacific port at Prince Rupert, and the north-west to Whitehorse.
MMC Canada network concept, schematic. Dark lines are Canadian national corridors; grey lines are neighbouring national corridors; gold lines are cross-border links. Routes are indicative.
Routes are indicative. Corridors are drawn city to city, through the cities on the existing railway wherever a line exists: MMC corridors follow those lines, upgrading the line or running above it on viaduct. Where no line exists, the corridor is new build. Final alignments are set at detailed design by terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and agreement with neighbouring nations.
