We’ve previously seen a booklet like this from 1954. That was before the Budd-build Canadian had been delivered, so the cover image was a painting of the train at Morant’s curve near Banff. This edition was clearly after the train had been put into service and the cover photo by Nicolas Morant shows the eastbound train crossing the Stoney Creek Bridge.

“This location as the train crosses 270 feet above the foaming stream is ideal for photographers to snap the whole train on the curve,” notes the booklet on page 10. In 1988, Canadian Pacific opened a tunnel by-passing the bridge, which is on the east side of the Selkirk Mountains, but still uses it for some eastbound trains.

The only indication of a date in this booklet is a box on page 25 presenting some “Canadian Pacific highlights” including the number of people employed by the railway and the number of freight and passenger cars and steamships owned by the railway in 1960. (For some reason it doesn’t mention airliners.) This suggests the booklet was published in 1961.
