Rogers Pass Station

 I previously posted a photo of the original CPR Station in Rogers Pass.

Here is another photo I just saw on the Vintage railwaystations,Round houses,Locomotives,coaches,cabooses of Canada Facebook group.

Old Rogers Pass Station in the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia. This card shows the original CPR Rogers Pass station which was east of the summit.

After the destruction a new station was built further west where the present visitor centre is located.

It is hard to imagine just how isolated that station was back in the day.
