Aboard the Rocky Mountaineer inside the spiral tunnels (video).
We picked up more passengers in Banff. The train was full.
It was a bit foggy and rainy at first, but it cleared in a couple hours.
Lake Louise station.
Canadian Pacific Pullmans.
We saw many a track crew throughout the journey.
Propane heaters are used to keep the switches warm enough to operate in the winter.
That's one way to get excess rolling stock out of the way.
Snow plows are a necessity in this part of the world.
CP Rail caboose.
Craigellachie, British Columbia - where the last spike was driven connecting the Canadian transcontinental railroad. It was done with a regular iron spike (the railroad could not afford a gold one by then) the whereabouts of which is not known.

A lumber kiln.
Canada has a Highway One.
