Railpictures.ca - David Brook Photo: Along with SD40 5526, the 2 GM’s have little trouble on the 1% grade of the “new track” from Lake Louise to the summit of Kicking Horse Pass at Stephen, BC. The amount of history and scenery is breathtaking. How they built this in the 1880s, much less found it in the first place, is staggering. They were ordinary men, the surveyors of that era. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
