    Is there any comprehensive history available, on line, about construction of this segment? Am specifically seeking information concerning a civil engineer who allegedly was involved.

    Althought it doesn't mention that fellow of my interest, this is probably the best web site on the topic I have ever seen. Thanks!

    Canadian Pacific's Rogers Pass
    Since the "Last Spike" Rogers Pass and the CPR have been synonymous. From day one "The Pass" has never ceased to be one operationally challenging piece of railroad.
    "Canadian Pacific's Rogers Pass" provides you with a spectacular in-depth look at the Rogers Pass section of CPR's Mountain Sub., both prior to, and after construction of the Macdonald and Toughness Tunnels in the 1980's.
    86 minutes

    And a second one on construction

    Those both sound interesting. Especially that second title. Maybe after I catch up on a few household expenses.......
