My Life at the Banff Railway Station.

When Trains Ruled the Rockies is a personal history of the Banff train station from 1948 through 1962, when railway travel enhanced western Canada’s international tourism industry and expanded an individual’s ability to revel in the natural splendour of the Canadian Rockies. Drawn from Terry Gainer’s personal memories and experiences from his years living and working at the legendary Banff Railway Station, this entertaining memoir and important historical record beckons the reader into the golden age of railway travel in the mountains of western Canada.
