The Road to Banff

Our first really rainy day kept us mostly indoors until travel time. However we stopped for a "natural bridge" site which is no longer a full bridge because the water is in process of turning the rock into a gorge. Here we also found an RV assembly.

At another point we were told about getting the rail track through the mountains by spirals, a Swiss technique. The trans-Canada line was the price of British Columbia joining the Dominion instead of USA.

We were lucky enough to see a train in all three parts of the S. The pic is not clear but the look for light patches at 3 levels, the lowest and nearest at head level.
