CP Rail opens Rogers Pass line in massive upgrade
CP Rail celebrated the 500 million Rogers Pass project on May 4, 1984, a 35 kilometre route boosting west coast capacity by 60 percent. The toll road of engineering includes Mount Shaughnessy and Mount Macdonald tunnels, a maintenance free concrete track bed, and a state of the art ventilation system. The work, begun after years of planning and environmental considerations, involved over 1,000 workers and culminated in earlier upgrades to Salmon Arm Revelstoke and Lake Louise.
