Grizzly Northern Railway Maps

The Grizzly Northern Railway is a CPR subsidiary that runs between Kamloops, British Columbia and Rocky Mountain House, Alberta



The railway mainline, 380 miles long, crosses the Continental Divide through the Running Bear Pass. A 39 mile long branchline runs from Geiranger, BC to Kingdom, BC on the western edge of the Columbia Icefields

Two spiral tunnels, similar to those on the CPR’s Big Hill, limit the grade to 3.5 % on the descent from the Continental Divide to Geiranger

Geiranger, located on the flats of the Running Bear River, is a major engine servicing center and home for "pusher" engines assisting heavy freights on steep grades to the east and west of Geiranger
