EDITORS COMMENTS
Crossing the Rockies," a captivating photograph from 1909, transports us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a train making its way through the breathtaking Canadian Rockies. The train, with its billowing smoke and steam, cuts through the rugged landscape, leaving a trail of white against the deep blue sky. The Canadian Rockies, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, have long been a source of wonder and awe for travelers. In 1909, the journey through these mountains was a daring and challenging feat. The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), which made this crossing possible, was a monumental engineering achievement of its time. The CPR, completed in 1885, connected the eastern and western parts of Canada, opening up new opportunities for settlement and commerce. The photograph captures the raw beauty and power of nature, as the train makes its way through the towering mountains and lush valleys. The passengers on board would have marveled at the stunning vistas, their journey a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of transportation in shaping the history and development of a nation. Today, the Canadian Rockies continue to attract visitors from around the world, who come to experience the natural wonders and the rich history of this magnificent region. "Crossing the Rockies" is a poignant reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Canadian Rockies.
