The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was a monumental project that aimed to connect all the Canadian provinces through a transcontinental line spanning from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The construction faced numerous challenges, including the formidable Rocky Mountains, a rugged range of mountains in Western Alberta and Eastern British Columbia. Initially, the railway was planned to extend further north, but it eventually crossed the Continental Divide at Kicking Horse Pass, a formidable obstacle that continues to pose challenges for railway operations even with the use of powerful diesel locomotives.
This book, adorned with unique photographs taken over several years, provides a comprehensive coverage of the CPR line, from its initial encounter with the Rockies in Exshaw to its final destination in Golden. The diverse range of traffic encountered along the line is showcased against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery that unfolds throughout the journey. Additionally, the book delves into the other Canadian Pacific line in the south of Alberta, which traverses Crowsnest Pass.
The 180 illustrations in this book offer a visual feast, capturing the essence of the railway and its surroundings. Each photograph is carefully selected to provide a glimpse into the history, culture, and natural beauty of the region. Whether you are a railway enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates stunning landscapes, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the Canadian Pacific Railway and its remarkable journey across Canada.
