Caption: In the early morning hours of April 29, 1903 the peaceful mountain town of Frank, Alberta was awakened by the thunderous sound of a rock slide on Turtle Mountain. Within 100 seconds, 110 million tons of rock fell into the valley below at speeds approaching 70 miles an hour. When it was all said and done, over 90 people had lost their lives and 3 square kilometers of the valley were buried by rock averaging 46ft deep, with some places being buried 150ft deep. At the time, this was the largest recorded land slide in Canadian History and the CP mainline was buried for approximately 1.2 miles. Within 3 weeks the railway had blasted a path through and re-opened the Crowsnest Sub. The eastern end of Frank, Alberta was devastated by the slide and the town was relocated out of the path of Turtle Mountain. Fast forward 119 years after the devastating slide, we see CP 219 with CP 8000, CP 7046, CP 5792 and CP 5973, with CN 3905 on the tailend, climbing through the debris field at Frank Slife.
