EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1940 in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada, showcases the untamed beauty and natural wonder of the Canadian wilderness. The image features a Canadian National Railway (CNR) train idling on the Mount Tekarra branch line, as a black bear and its four cubs casually stroll across the train tracks. The train, a relic of a bygone era, adds a sense of history and nostalgia to the scene. The Jasper National Park, located in the Canadian Rockies, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. This photograph encapsulates the harmony between nature and transportation during the 1940s, a time when trains were the primary mode of transportation in remote areas. The black bear, one of the largest and most iconic animals in North America, can be seen leading its four cubs across the tracks. The cubs, playful and curious, follow their mother with a sense of innocence and wonder. The bears' nonchalant behavior towards the train, a symbol of human progress, underscores their confidence and dominance in their natural habitat. This photograph is a testament to the awe-inspiring experiences that the Canadian wilderness offers, as well as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Canadian National Railway. It is a rare and beautiful moment in time, frozen in a photograph, that captures the essence of the Canadian wilderness and the harmony between nature and human progress.
