The Railway Statistics of Canada for the years from 1877-1957 are available on the Government of Canada Publications website.
1877-1892 https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.844316/publication.html
1893-1918 https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.817516/publication.html
1919-1921 https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.817519/publication.html
1922-1947 https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.817533/publication.html
1948-1951 https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.817555/publication.html
After 1951 the reports are split up into multiple documents, which are available through 1981 on the same website.
These are very useful documents for providing details of the physical
plant, operation and finances of federally-chartered railways in Canada
for the years covered.
The Poor’s Manual of Railroads is available online for the years from
1868 (volume 1) through 1910 (volume 43) but missing 1905, 1906, 1908
and 1909. Some of the volumes are on archive.org while others are on Google Books. The 1907 edition is on HathiTrust.
Note that some of the meta data on both archive.org
and Google is wrong, for instance giving the incorrect year or volume
number, however I have checked all the links below against the actual
text of the volumes and they should all be the correct years. Some of
these volumes were only scanned in 2022, so this is a fairly new
resource.
