Some Railway/Avalanche Photos From 1935



My grandfather, P.C.Lindsay, was an engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He drove steam locomotives over Rogers' Pass, which is in the Rockies, just west of Banff.

I found these pictures in the family archives. It shows one of the avalanches, and you can see why so many people got killed there.
