1. Title: A Feat of Engineering: The Lower Portal of Number Two Spiral Tunnel, Field, British Columbia, Canada, 1909 2.. Step back in time and witness the engineering marvel of the Lower Portal of Number Two Spiral Tunnel in Field, British Columbia, Canada. This historic photograph, taken in 1909, captures a steam locomotive as it passes under the train it is pulling, showcasing the unique design of the spiral tunnels. Constructed between 1906 and 1912, the Spiral Tunnels in Field, BC, were a groundbreaking innovation in railway engineering. The tunnels were built to overcome the steep grade of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line, which was essential for connecting the eastern and western parts of Canada. The spiral design allowed trains to ascend the mountainous terrain gradually, reducing the need for excessive force and preventing runaway trains. The Lower Portal of Number Two Tunnel is particularly noteworthy as it is the point where the trains make a complete 360-degree turn. In this photograph, the steam locomotive, laden with cars, can be seen making its way through the portal, passing under the train it is pulling. This remarkable sight demonstrates the impressive engineering capabilities of the time and the ingenuity of the CPR. The Spiral Tunnels in Field, BC, are a testament to the rich railway history of Canada and the engineering prowess that shaped the nation's transportation infrastructure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the significant role that railways played in connecting communities and shaping the country's history.
