[Bell Historians] Bells from the Canadian Pacific Railway

[La Greenall]

Issues of the Railway Magazine from this period occasionally come up on
eBay for a couple of pounds or so each. I have a few from the late 50's
containing articles on railway lines in my neck of the woods.

> one of these bells could find a place in an English church. Mr
> Hutchins accordingly made this suggestion to the CPR, with the
> result that a bell was despatched on the Candian Pacific liner
> Empress of France, and sent from Liverpool to the church of
> St Thomas, Eaton, about midway between Chester and Crewe, of which
> Mr Hutchins is Curate-in-Charge."
