Sir William Cornelius Van Horne first became involved with the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882 when he was appointed to the position of General Manager. He was involved until 1899 when he retired (as President).
It was completed at 9:22am on November 7th, 1885.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was built in 1881 (the exact date is not sure), by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, which was lead by Sir Hugh Allan (who turned out to be a real crook), and owned by a banker from Quebec named George Stephen and an executive member of the Hudson's Bay company called Donald Smith. William Van Horne supervised the overall construction and Sanford Fleming planned out the route. The last spike of the rails was in British Columbia, and the official photograph shows a politician or some other important figure hammering it in, but really, the workers hammered in the last spike moments later after the crowd dispersed. The CPR also brought on a dirty Canadian history, forcing Chinese men to work for less than the Canadians. Stepehen Harper made it up to the Chinese by paying each remaining person from this era that was Asian or involved a $20 000 sum.

The Canadian Pacific Railway no longer is in the business of passenger travel. Therefore, unless you are employed by the railway or are freight, there is no way to "ride the Canadian Pacific Railway."
The Canadian railway, also known as CPR or Canadian Pacific Railway is run by Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, as a result of corporate restructuring in 2001.
