Welcome Aboard!

Here is the second instalment in our series of "armchair journeys"

through Canada by train. This time we're celebrating the past 100 years

of Canadian Pacific Railway's transcontinental services by looking at

almost 200 scenes taken along its mainline, between Montreal and

Vancouver.

As mentioned in previous books, this work is being done aboard retired

C.P.R. wooden caboose No. 436788, built in 1922. I rode this car on its

final trip, across the Canadian Rockies, in 1979. Now it sits on a short

piece of track in an isolated meadow, near our family cabins and small

publishing business.

End card cover (inside) map of railway lines and back cover shows

Selkirk double headed with Hudson reputedly carrying Queen and Prince

Philip battling at Stoney Creek a mountain blizzard. Front cover shows

first meeting of Diesel and Steam 1951.

One of Canada’s most prolific but least known authors lives in a caboose

and works by the glow of kerosene lanterns. He’s Adolph Hungry Wolf, a

Swiss-born, California schooled, adopted-Blackfoot Canadian.

On his family’s Skookumchuck Prairie homestead, 30 miles north of

Kimberley, Hungry Wolf’s only concession to the modern world is a 12

volt battery to power a radio. Without the distractions of electricity

or running water he has nonetheless produced 40 titles for prestigious

international publishers such as William Morrow and Harper & Row,

and for his own company, Good Medicine Books
