He was primarily responsible for converting the railroad to diesel locomotives,[1] and expanded the company into non-transportation sectors. Early life and educationCrump was born in Revelstoke, British Columbia. His father was a railway superintendent.[2] Crump joined the CPR as an apprentice machinist in 1920, when he was sixteen years old.[3] In between working for the railway, he earned a bachelors and in 1936 a masters degree at Purdue University.[1] CareerAfter working as a track labourer and then in the machine shop, Crump was transferred to Winnipeg, where he continued to work while completing high school at night. After time off to complete a university degree, he took a position as a night foreman. He was transferred to Montreal as an assistant the vice president, and in 1943 became Superintendent of the Ontario district.[4] In 1948 Crump was a vice president at CPR; to counter lower numbers of passengers, he advocated increasing advertising and spending more money to make train travel attractive.[5] Crump was elected President in 1955;[6] the company was severely in debt at the time.[7] At the time the company was mainly using diesel locomotives only in the railyards; during the following twelve years, Crump oversaw the dieselisation of the railroad. He ordered the refurbishment of the company's showcase train The Canadian.[8] To improve profit margins Crump initiated a reorganization and expansion of the company's non-rail business.[9][10] An admirer of Samuel de Champlain, founder of Quebec City and New France, it was Crump who proposed naming the company's Montreal hotel Château Champlain after him.[11] In 1971 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.[12] Crump retired in 1974.[13] Notes1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Tom Murray|title=Rails Across Canada: The History of Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vf7efnxi1XwC&pg=PA91|date=7 March 2011|publisher=MBI Publishing Company|isbn=978-1-61060-139-9|page=91}} 2. ^{{cite book|author=David Twiston-Davies|title=Canada from Afar: The Daily Telegraph Book of Canadian Obituaries|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QH5hf-_8UBQC&pg=PA80|date=25 July 1996|publisher=Dundurn|isbn=978-1-55488-116-1|page=80}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Robert Chodos|title=The CPR: A Century of Corporate Welfare|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZMsB3hKHf5YC&pg=PA135|year=1973|publisher=James Lorimer & Company|isbn=978-0-88862-047-7|page=135}} 4. ^"Retirement?"
