Maple Leaf Tracks Rogers Pass Canadian Pacific’s Mountain Subdivision In the late 1800’s, Canada needed a railroad passage through the Selkirk Mountains of South central British Columbia. A soldier named Major Rogers was asked to survey a way through the granite cliffs in an effort to shorten the upcoming transcontinental mainline to the West coast. The Beaver Valley was found and a passage was surveyed over the Pass to the Illecillewaet Valley beyond. This area gets some of the largest snowfalls in Western Canada and proved to be too much for the railroad. The five mile Connaught Tunnel was built to pass under the worst of the snow and reduce the distance over the pass. Almost 100 years later, the nine mile Mount MacDonald Tunnel was built to reduce the Westbound grade to 1% and double the mainline for increased traffic demands. Today’s trains are up to two miles long and weigh up to 14,000 tons. With powerful AC traction motored locomotives, they make the grade at 16 mph with only three of these monster machines in the consist. MLT’s version of Rogers Pass attempts to simulate the modern day operations of the CPR over the Mountain Sub from Field, BC to Revelstoke, BC. Certain compromises had to be made for best performance of the simulation. Even with this, there are 70 car unit trains and mixed traffic in ten scenarios for many hours of enjoyment. We have applied the latest physics and route building techniques and feel this is possibly our best product release.

E-mail: [email protected] Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of the Public Safety Canada funded project to inventory current and predict future trends in avalanche threats and mitigation programs in Canada. The project also updated the Natural Resources Canada website and map of fatal avalanche incidents. Avalanches have been responsible for at least 702 fatalities in Canada since the earliest recorded incident in 1782. Sixty-one percent of these fatalities occurred in British Columbia, with 13% in Alberta, 11% in Quebec and 10% in Newfoundland and Labrador. The remainder occurred in Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut Territories. Fifty-three percent of the fatalities were people engaged in recreational activities, while 18% were people in or near buildings, 16% were travelling or working on transportation corridors and 8% were working in resource industries.
