The Canadian Pacific Railway was built to unite all the Canadian
Provinces with a transcontinental line running from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Many obstacles were encountered during construction
including the Rocky Mountains, a formidable range of mountains in
Western Alberta and Eastern British Columbia. Originally planned to
run further north, the line eventually crossed the Continental
Divide at Kicking Horse Pass, a challenge to railway operating that
still exists today despite the use of high-horsepower diesel
locomotives. Illustrated with unique photographs, taken over a
number of years, this book covers the line from Exshaw, where it
first encounters the Rockies, to Golden. The variety of traffic
found on the line is shown against a backdrop of stunning scenery
that is encountered along the line. Also detailed is the other
Canadian Pacific line in the south of Alberta, which traverses
Crowsnest Pass. 180 illustrations
