This is the exciting and epic story, starting in 1885, of the construction and the operation of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern Railways. Richly illustrated photographs of the scenic Canadian Rockies that rise along the tracks as well as a fascinating array of dramatic and historic photographs that show the building of the railway highlight this book.
