COUNTRY CROSSING

Photographer Joseph Heckman travelled widely on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway between 1898 and 1915 taking pictures of railways, bridges, stations, hotels, steamships, and people. Among thousands of his photos held in the company’s archives, 380 appear in Heckman’s Canadian Pacific: A Photographic Journey (328 pages, $60) by author Ralph Beaumont. This photograph taken June 22, 1907, shows locomotive 56 at the New Brunswick Southern Railway Crossing, north of St. Andrews. An already abandoned station stands windowless and leans badly.
