Canadian Railways

Canadian Railways Synopsis

Join Ian Lothian on a journey along the northerly rail crossings of the Rocky Mountains; three in Canada and one in the northwest corner of Montana. Explore the Canadian National line through Jasper National Park over Yellowhead Pass, Canadian Pacific's line through Banff and over Kicking Horse Pass, Canadian Pacific's Southern Line through Crowsnest Pass and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line in Montana over Marias Pass through a series of stunning photographs.

Taken over many years of travelling in this area, the book takes the reader along the lines and provides fascinating detail on where and when the images were taken. Although all the lines now use high horsepower diesel locomotives, working these lines still remains a challenge at all times of the year.
