"Crowsnest Mountain "

The Crowsnest Pass is a valley cutting through the Rockies of Southern Canada and remains one of the few active sections of the C.P.R.'s onetime 'second mainline' to the Pacific Coast. On a mid-century winter morning, a westbound freight train rolls upgrade towards the summit of the pass at the village of Crowsnest on the B.C. - Alberta border, while the magnificent peak of the same name towers in the background.
