The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) published in 1957 a book called Daylight Through the Mountain, which contains an account of the lives and letters of the Shanly brothers, edited by Frank Walker and researched by Gladys Walker. As the Walkers noted, Walter Shanly was at the age of forty the general manager of the longest railway in the world and was later to sit as a member of Parliament, while Frank Shanly built more miles of railway in Canada than any engineer prior to the construction of the transcontinental railway to the Pacific. Both were also successful consulting engineers. But this book is devoted principally to the brothers’ letters and the narrative material is limited to the first 60 of its 400-odd pages
