For about three miles a grade of\n4.5 per cent prevailed \u00E2\u0080\u0094 ten times the\nmaximum gradient normally permitted on\nheavy prairie work.\nBy the construction of these Spiral Tunnels\nthis grade was reduced to 2.2 per cent. From\nthe east, the track enters Tunnel No. 1, 3,206\nfeet in length, turns under Cathedral Mountain\nat an angle of about 250 degrees on a 573\nfoot radius, passes under itself and emerges\nat the opposite portal 54 feet lower. Tunnel\nNo. 2, under Mount Ogden, has a similar\nradius through an angle of 232 degrees; it is\n2,890 feet long and the grade produces a\ndifference in elevation of about 45 feet\nbetween portals. Thus the railway traverses\nthe valley by three lines at different elevations'\nand crosses and re-crosses the Kicking Horse\nRiver by four bridges. Two engines can now\nhaul a bigger load up the valley than the\nfour previously used.\nThe two tunnels are a perfect maze,\nfor the railway doubles upon itself twice and\nforms a rough figure \"8\" in shape. If the\ntrain is run in two sections, passengers are\nable to see the other section making its way up\n\"the big grade\" at a higher or lower level.\nCONNAUGHT TUNNEL\nTHROUGH Mount Macdonald in the Selkirk\nMountains only a short train run from\nCraigellachie, scene of the historic \"driving of\nthe last spike\" ceremony on November 7,\n1885, is the Connaught Tunnel, the longest\ndouble-track railway tunnel on the American\nContinent. Five miles long from portal to\nportal the tunnel cross-section is 23 ft. by 29\nft. and is concrete lined throughout.\nThe tunnel is a part of a diversion which\nshortened the main line 4.3 miles, reduced the\nsummit elevation 552 ft., eliminated 4.5 miles\nof snow sheds and the equivalent of seven\ncomplete circles of curvature. The highest rail\nelevation in the tunnel is 3,390 ft. above sea\nlevel over one mile below the summit of Mount\nMacdonald which reaches to a height of 9,860\nft. Powerful fans located at the west portal\nassist in ventilation. Trains are operated\nthrough the tunnel on the left hand track to\nprovide engineers with the maximum view\nahead.\nPrinted in Canada, 1946 THE\nCANADIAN PACIFIC\nX HE agreement between the Canadian\nPacific Railway Company and the\nGovernment of the Dominion of Canada,\nentered into in 1880, to build a railway\nacross the prairies and through the Rocky\nMountains to the Pacific Coast, called for\ncompletion in ten years' time.\nActually, the railway was completed,\nand through trains run, in half this time:\nthe last spike was driven at Craigellachie\non November 7, 1885, and the first train,\ninaugurating trans-Canada transportation\nservice, left Montreal on June 28, 1886,\nfor the Pacific Coast. Later, it was\nnatural that increasing trade should see\nmany millions spent in grade reductions\nand in the erection of permanent structures.\nAmongst other things, this involved the\nconstruction of a most interesting system\nof tunnels and of one of the longest tunnels\non the continent \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the Spiral Tunnels\nat Field and the Connaught Tunnel at\nGlacier, respectively, both of which are\nillustrated on the reverse side of this menu.\n(Jill\nat.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2astward lour\nLrom\n19tk Annual Aleeting\nIke Canadian Lhamber ol Lommerce\nv.\nancouver\n., B.C.\nOctoLer 26, 27 and 28, 1948\nLUNCHEON\nTOMATO JUICE\nPUREE OF PEAS\nBOILED HALIBUT, EGG SAUCE\nCOLD SALMON, CUCUMBER, MAYONNAISE\nSAVORY OMELET\nCURRIED CHICKEN WITH RICE\nBAKED SUGAR CURED HAM, CUMBERLAND SAUCE\nPOTATOES: BOILED, MASHED OR COTTAGE FRIED\nCARROT FINGERS\nBUTTERED CABBAGE\nPUMPKIN PIE APPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING\nICE CREAM WITH CAKE\nCANADIAN CHEESE WITH CRACKERS\nBREAD\n(WHITE OR BROWN)\nTEA\nOCTOBER 31ST, 1948\nHOT BISCUITS\nCOCOA\nCOFFEE\nROLLS\n(HOT OR COLD;\nMILK\n$1.75\nTHE\nCANADIAN ROCKIES\nX HE Rocky Mountains, the Selkirk\nMountains, and the other related\nranges have \u00E2\u0080\u0094 within reach of railway\ntransportation \u00E2\u0080\u0094 over six hundred and\nfifty mountain peaks 6,000 feet above sea\nlevel, or higher.
