Mountain Vision Publishing is pleased to announce the January 2023 release of the revised and enlarged, second edition of Gravity, Steam, and Steel - An Illustrated History of Rogers Pass. Illustrated with maps, diagrams, and 125 photographs – some previously unpublished – Gravity, Steam, and Steel recounts the triumphs and tragedies of building and operating the Canadian Pacific Railway in a place where 40 feet of snow falls each year, and where trains routinely run on grades that many other railways would consider impossibly steep.
