Context

The photograph shows the two cabooses next to each other on separate lines. There is also snow on the ground and what appears to be a building in the background. The Canadian Pacific Railway was founded in 1881. Part of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald's dream of Canadian Confederation, the building a transcontinental railway was part of the agreement to get British Columbia to join Confederation. Construction began in 1881 and lasted well into the 1900s to build lines connecting Canada from Vancouver to Montreal.
