A look at the comprehensive photography of the Canadian Pacific Railway across Canada by photographer Joseph Heckman between 1898 and 1915. The book includes seven rare and high quality photographs of DAR station and bridges taken in 1910. Heckman is believed to have been assigned the CPR to document the DAR to assist in negotiating its takeover of the line in 1912. The published photographs are taken from Heckman's Collection of 118 negatives of the DAR in two DAR albums that he produced for the CPR.
