Building In British Columbia

In the Prairies, it was possible to build hundreds of kilometres of the railroad in one year. In British Columbia, that same length of track would take over five years. From avalanches, the need to build bridges over gorges and blasting through granite mountains, the construction of the CPR through British Columbia was no small matter, nor a quick process.
