Railways in Southern Alberta
By R. F. P. Bowman
Dedicated to railroad lovers of all ages.
In Canada during the 1870s, the need to find a transcontinental railway route was vital to connect the west and east. It wasn't until 1883 that the railway came to Southern Alberta. It was an active component of the community until the formal closure of the Canadian Pacific's Divisional Headquarters in Lethbridge on December 31, 1971. Author R. F. P. Bowman covers the history of this industry within Southern Alberta and hopes that this book serves as a record of the past that can be preserved for the sake of history.
