The making of a great Canadian railway ; the story of the search for and discovery of the route, and the construction of the nearly completed Grand Trunk Pacific Railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with some account of the hardships and stirring adventures of its constructors in unexplored country
A popular account of the surveying and building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, written by British technology journalist Frederick A. Talbot and published in Toronto in 1912 for general readers following Canada's westward expansion. Forty halftone photographs show grade cuts, timber trestles, river valleys and work trains in coarse grey tone, useful for landscape silhouettes, lattice bridge structure and construction-site texture.
