Postscript112
The Canadian-the name conjures up romantic notions of elegant travel and dining aboard silver cars as they pass through lush forests and magnificent mountains, past sapphire lakes under azure skies.
From 1955 to 1989, this world-renowned train traversed Canada across nearly 3,000 miles of lakes, prairie, and mountains, from Montreal, Quebec to Vancouver, British Columbia.
The author provides engaging detail of the journey, one he made himself on numerous occasions. In his narrative, we experience many of the fascinating people and places along the way.
In this beautiful compilation of 142 color photographs, Adolf and Okan Hungry Wolf, along with a dozen of the continent's best photographers, have captured the train in the dazzling imagery of all four seasons-through bright sunshine, rainstorms and blizzards, and the depths of night. The train's first regal paint scheme of maroon and gray gave way to "action red" and white, and was finally transformed into the final blue and yellow of VIA Rail Canada prior to "the end."
This is a fitting reminiscence, farewell-and tribute-to North America's last great train. 112 pages, 142 color photographs, masterfully printed on acid-free paper, durably smythe-sewn and hardbound with a stunning dust jacket.
