7087. Connaught Tunnel - Canadian Rockies.

7087. Connaught Tunnel - Canadian Rockies.
A nice card illustrating the Connaught Tunnel, which began operation on Dec. 16, 1916.

Coast Publishing Co., Vancouver.

Interestingly it was the 58 fatalities in the Rogers Pass avalanche in 1912, illustrated on one of my G. A. Barrowclough postcards, that was the "last straw" and led the CPR to go ahead with the Connaught Tunnel project the following year.
