EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the year 1913, when surveyors were hard at work mapping out a new railway line through the breathtaking Canadian Rockies. The image captures the rugged beauty of the landscape, with snow-capped mountains towering in the background as men meticulously measure and mark out the route for what would become an essential transportation link in Canada's history.
The surveying team is seen huddled together, their tools and equipment scattered around them as they carefully plan each twist and turn of the future railway line. Their dedication to this monumental task is evident in their focused expressions and precise movements, highlighting the importance of accurate planning in such a challenging terrain.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the incredible feat it was to construct a railway through such unforgiving wilderness over a century ago. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, showcasing how innovation and determination can overcome even the most formidable obstacles.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beginnings of an engineering marvel that would connect distant communities and open up new opportunities for trade and travel across Canada. It is a reminder of our shared history and collective achievements as we continue to push boundaries and forge ahead into uncharted territories.
