Book Description Paperbound: center-stapled format oblong format: 8.5 inches tall by 11 inches wide 50 pages. Description: A mix of text and black and white photo illustrations; with a bit more text than a typical railroad photo book. From the author's introduction: ''In 1985 Canadian Pacific Railway celebrate the centenary of the completion of its mainline. This volume represents a tribute to the Railway on such an important occasion. We have chosen 20 miles of the original mainline for such a purpose because within that short stretch is one of the greatest concentration of engineering and operating problems. While it has not been possible to include all types of motive power that operated on Field Hill, we believe that all major classes are illustrated.'' The twenty mile stretch alluded to covers the stretch starting with the six mile climb up the Continental Divide at Stephen, through Kicking Horse Pass, and on to Lake Louise. BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; center-stapled format; Very Good condition. ISBN: 0-919487-14-9. Seller Inventory # 065265
