Description

Photograph of a Canadian Pacific Railway train stopped at a small station (possibly in Mission, B. C.) while en route to Vancouver. The train sits on tracks and enters frame from the left. It stretches back towards center and is viewed at an angle from the side. At center and to the right of the train, a gravel road stretches back through center and towards the station's platform. The platform sits in the distance and curves to the left. Along the right side of the platform, a train station stands in the distance at center. At far right and in the distance, buildings line the top of a slope behind the station.
