PHOTO OF THE WEEK AWARD - Kicking Horse Canyon is seen from the new Trans-Canada Highway above the old abandoned highway and bridge. The original highway, built in 1928, closely followed the original railway alignment next to CPKC's main line through the canyon. In 1962 a newer highway was built using parts of the original road. The old highway bridge abutments can be seen in this photo. In early 2000 the newer "expressway" was phased in, and is out of sight below me. Helpers were once used here from Golden to Leonchoil, and again from Field to the Summit of Kicking Horse Pass. An eastbound stack train works up the 2.2 percent grade out of Glenogle - Jun 2024 Jason Cary.
