Canadian Government Railways (reporting marks CGR, IRC) was the legal name used between 1915–1918 for all federal government-owned railways in Canada. The principal component companies were the Intercolonial Railway of Canada (IRC), the National Transcontinental Railway (NTR), the Prince Edward Island Railway (PEIR), and the Hudson Bay Railway (HBR). There were also several minor branch railways in the province of New Brunswick that were acquired by CGR during this time. rdf:langString

November 1918 die bankrotte Canadian Northern Railway einschließlich der Hudson Bay Railway. Einen Monat später, am 20. Dezember 1918 wandelte die Regierung die CGR in die Canadian National Railways um, deren offizielle Gründung jedoch erst am 6. Juni 1919 erfolgte.

rdf:langString Canadian Government Railways (reporting marks CGR, IRC) was the legal name used between 1915–1918 for all federal government-owned railways in Canada. The principal component companies were the Intercolonial Railway of Canada (IRC), the National Transcontinental Railway (NTR), the Prince Edward Island Railway (PEIR), and the Hudson Bay Railway (HBR). There were also several minor branch railways in the province of New Brunswick that were acquired by CGR during this time. The deepening financial crisis in Canada's railway industry toward the end of the First World War saw the majority of major railways across the country nationalized by the federal government. The CGR played a vital role in Canada's wartime effort, moving vast numbers of troops and supplies. A notable role was the relief and reconstruction in Halifax after the 1917 Halifax Explosion and one CGR employee, Vince Coleman became a celebrated hero in the explosion. The first system to be taken over was the bankrupt Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) on September 6, 1918, whereby the government-appointed Board of Management for CNoR was instructed to take responsibility for all CGR operations as well. Later that year, the federal government created the Canadian National Railways (CNR) as a means to simplify the funding and administration of the nationalized railway system, which was formally brought about by an order issued on December 20, 1918, by the Privy Council. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTPR) was nationalized after defaulting on loan payments March 7, 1919, and entered the CNR fold on July 12, 1920. GTPR's parent company, the bankrupt Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) was nationalized on May 21, 1920, and was absorbed into the CNR on January 30, 1923. Although the CGR only existed for a short period of time before evolving into the Canadian National Railway, it was a very visible Canadian railway in World War One due to the large scale of wartime railway operation. Large amounts of rolling stock were lettered for the CGR, although in many regions, such as the Maritimes, the public continued to refer to its trains and facilities by their old name of the Intercolonial. The CGR moniker ceased to be used after 1918, but the CGR itself existed on paper until the late 20th century, largely due to real estate leases and other agreements. A Privy Council order dated July 22, 1993, authorized the sale of CGR to the Crown corporation CN for one Canadian dollar.

Anche parecchie ferrovie secondarie o diramate minori della provincia del Nuovo Brunswick furono acquisite, dal 20 maggio 1918, dalla CGR; queste furono , , , . Il 6 settembre 1918 fu rilevata anche la Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR), ormai insolvente, per la cui gestione il governo nominò un proprio comitato direttivo incaricato di assumere la totale responsabilità di tutte le operazioni. La neocostituita CGR svolse un ruolo fondamentale nello sforzo bellico del Canada impegnandosi nel trasporto di truppe e di rifornimenti. La CGR ebbe un'esistenza piuttosto breve (evolvendosi presto in Canadian National Railway); ciononostante ebbe grande visibilità nella prima guerra mondiale per il funzionamento in grande scala del trasporto bellico. Grandi quantità di materiale rotabile furono rimarcate adottando il logo CGR anche se, in molte regioni come quelle marittime, il pubblico continuò a riferirsi ai suoi treni e ai suoi servizi usando il vecchio nome "Intercolonial". Sempre nel corso dell'anno 1918 il governo federale costituì la nuova compagnia federale Canadian National Railway (CNR) allo scopo di semplificare operativamente il finanziamento e gestione del complesso sistema ferroviario nazionalizzato; l'ufficializzazione del provvedimento avvenne il 20 dicembre 1918 con atto del Queen's Privy Council for Canada La (GTPR) fu nazionalizzata, dopo il fallimento, il 7 marzo 1919 entrando a pieno titolo nelle CNR il 12 luglio 1920. La compagnia parente di GTPR, la Grand Trunk Railway (GTR), anch'essa in bancarotta, fu nazionalizzata il 21 maggio 1920 e venne interamente assorbita in CNR il 30 gennaio 1923. Il logo CGR cessò di essere utilizzato negli anni successivi al 1918 ma, di fatto, la CGR esistette sulla carta fino al tardo XX secolo occupandosi in gran parte di altre attività collaterali e immobiliari. Infine il 22 luglio 1993 un ordine del Privy Council autorizzò la vendita di CGR alla "Crown corporation" CN per la cifra simbolica di un dollaro canadese.
