Canadian Railroads > picture request

Hi all, Im modeling a diesel shop similar to the CPR in BC like the Revelstoke shops, now I remember seeing in one book a shot taken from above that showed the Canadian Pacific in script on the side of the building, it could be Revelstoke altough the many pics I have dont show a name or maybe Nelson, I dont know but if anyone would have a hint, the pic was taken from the hill adjacent to it so kind of a 45 angle down type, hopefully someone will know
thank you for any help

Hi Charls,

Sounds like a fun project!

The Nelson shops definitely had the name in script lettering on it, there's a side-on picture in John Garden's Crow and the Kettle and a view in one of the pictures at http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/photos/cpr_facilities/BC.htm

I'm not as familiar with the mainline and the five volume set of (slim) books on CPR and the Revelstoke Division didn't yield any joy I'm afraid.

This might be a good question to put to the Canadian Pacific Historical Association discussion list, over at http://freelists.org/list/cpha

Happy hunting,

Stu in Brunswick (Victoria), Australia

Thank you very much exactly what I was looking for
