CP Rail Rogers Pass Project Reclamation Program
Work is currently underway on construction of a new 17.3 km surface grade and 16.5 km of new tunnels for westbound rail traffic on the CP Rail mainline between Golden and Revelstoke, B. C. Most of the work is being conducted in Glacier National Park. Detailed plans and contract specifications for th...
