Mountain Park Alberta GPTR Railway Coal Branch Bridge Washout Real Photo Postcard

The image depicts a challenging segment of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTPRy) near Mountain Park, Alberta, likely captured during the railway's construction or an early period of operation, possibly post-damage. The tracks appear precariously laid alongside or over a river in a mountainous setting, indicative of the severe topographical obstacles faced by railway builders in the Canadian Rockies during the early 20th century. The presence of railway workers suggests ongoing construction, maintenance, or repair efforts.
