A century ago, the transcontinental railway enabled the settlement of western Canada.

- A stunning memento for those who love railway history or valuable addition to any collection featuring Canadian themes.
Design
The reverse design by Canadian artist Joel Kimmel features a dynamic portrait of a 1914-era steam train traversing the Grand Trunk Bridge in Saskatoon at the time of the railway’s completion. In a striking composition that evokes the drive and energy of the early 20th century’s theme of 'progress,' Kimmel presents a steam engine pulling elegant wooden passenger cars. With its wheel arrangement and vast steam engine bellowing a long cloud of smoke, the image is true to the locomotives of the Grand Trunk’s construction era. The scene’s vantage point on the foliage-lined shoreline and slightly below the left side of the train bridge enhances the drama and grandeur of the moment.
Packaging
