The Canadian Pacific Railway - A Journey Through the Majestic Rocky Mountains
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by E. Jennings in the 19th century, takes us back to a time when the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway was a monumental feat of engineering and human determination. The print showcases Mount Stephen and the Selkirk Mountain Range as a backdrop to this extraordinary railway project. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where railways were not only means of transportation but also symbols of progress and unity. The Canadian Pacific Railway connected Canada from coast to coast, bridging vast distances across British Columbia's rugged terrain. The image captures Glacier House, an iconic landmark along the route that served as both a luxurious hotel for travelers and a testament to human ingenuity amidst nature's grandeur. The topography of Western Canada is beautifully portrayed here, with its towering peaks and sweeping valleys. This engraving reminds us of the immense challenges faced by those who built this railway - from blasting through mountainsides to constructing intricate loops on treacherous slopes. It celebrates their achievements while honoring the natural beauty that surrounds them. Let us marvel at this snapshot in time, appreciating how it represents not only an important chapter in Canadian history but also symbolizes our connection with North America's western hemisphere. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and collective spirit as Canadians.
