From Summit to Sea by George H Buck
This definitive history presents a well-illustrated account of the construction and development of railroads in British Columbia and Alberta between 1880 and 1939 - a time of tremendous growth and expansion of the railroads and populations of the two provinces.
The detailed text and fascinating archival photographs include remarkable stories of the places and personalities that have shaped the history of Canadian railroads, and indeed Canada.
