Glacier: Taming the Pass

The Canadian Pacific Railway's struggle to cross the Selkirks defined this park. Rogers Pass, at its heart, was notorious for deadly avalanches. This led to the construction of massive snow sheds and the Connaught Tunnel to protect the railway line. The park's history is as dramatic as its landscape. #Canada #GlacierNP #RogersPass #RailwayHistory 🇨🇦

Funimag/photoblog is back.
After several years focused on social platforms, I’ve rebuilt and modernized the site.
Funimag returns to its original purpose: a quiet, independent space for long‑form, illustrated articles about funiculars and cable‑hauled systems.
Archives preserved.
New articles coming.

Ich sprach mit einem Passanten. Der alte Rönneburger erinnerte sich noch an diesen Lokschuppen. Nice. https://mprove.de/chrono?q=53.44945,9.99159&z=17.87&t=18&m=RW023020390,,RW023020391&o=0.95&s=1

This is a really lovely episode of Rail Natter! 🥰

Gareth Dennis talks to Ashlynn Hudson-Welburn of the National Railway Museum’s ‘People, Pride and Progress’ project, about queer histories within the rail industry.

The recorded personal stories from around 46:50 are very moving and worth hearing if that’s all you have time for.
