What readers are saying
Fully enjoyed the read of "The Heartless Rockies".
From the first set explosion to the last breaking heart!
I will never be able to drive through the Rockies without thinking of how this book explains some of the hardships of building the Canadian Pacific Railway though such difficult mountain terrain. Gives humanitarian insights into the men that worked on and created this wonder. It is neat to also read from a railway enthusiast's engineering perspective.
Thanks for the enjoyable read.

Before, I knew a bit of the history of the railway. Now, I feel like I know the individual people who built it!
