The plume of smoke and the intricate steelwork of the trestle evoke the raw energy of Canadian rail travel during the mid-1930s.

It serves as a stark visual record of how steam power conquered the formidable terrain of the canyon. This vtg RPPC is a quintessential piece of transit history from a bygone age of locomotive travel.
