...would supply fields for the line. It turned over its stock to Government-controlled Canadian National Railways, thus putting Trans-Canada into the arms of C. N. R.'s President Samuel James Hungerford. Sam Hungerford promptly passed Trans-Canada on to a U. S. expert, stubby, taciturn Philip Gustav Johnson.
