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 the east coast
to the west coast including Nova Scotia's Dominion Atlantic lines and
Vancouver Island's Esquimalt & 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 &
Northern.
Canadian Pacific Railway captures the pleasure of lingering
in wood-frame stations where time was marked to the beat of a Seth
Thomas clock, the stainless-steel glamor of the Canadian, the gritty
drama of SD40s grinding up mountain grades, and the loneliness of the
prairie.
