Photograph depicts the C.P.R. summit of the southern transcontinental C.P. line at Crowsnest Pass on the Alberta-B.C. border. The roundhouse is disused. Four men are working on the turntable; it is unclear whether they are rebuilding its eastern face or demolishing it by breaking down one wall to get at the table. The site is 4,453 ft. above sea level and the view is looking south.
