A tribute to one of North America's great railway companies.
This landmark tribute to the Canadian Pacific Railway features the work of many of North America's top rail photographers. Remarkable photography and essays cover the entire CPR system, from coast to coast, including Nova Scotia's Dominion Atlantic lines and Vancouver Island's Esquimalt and Nanaimo. Some of the best steam and diesel photographs ever published appear here, along with 1950s-vintage photos of steeple-cab electrics and passenger trains on the Electric Lines subsidiaries (the Grand River Railway and the Lake Erie and Northern). It captures the pleasure of wood-frame stations, the stainless-steel glamour of The Canadian, the drama of SD40s grinding up mountain grades and the loneliness of a prairie wayfreight. In English.
