1910 Rogers Pass avalanche
The 1910 Rogers Pass Avalanche killed 62 men clearing a railroad line near the summit of Rogers Pass through the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia on March 4, 1910. It is Canada's worst avalanche disaster.
==Rogers Pass==
The Canadian Pacific Railway's line through Rogers Pass completed its transcontinental railroad through to Canada's west coast, and at the time was the only such link. It was therefore of vital importance to keep it open through the winter months. Although completed in November 1885 it was soon abandoned as throughout that winter, up to 12 metres of snow buried the line and avalanches tore away newly-laid sections of track. A costly system of 31 'snow sheds' was constructed to protect the most vulnerable sections of line, covering in all.〔http://cdnrail.railfan.net/RogersPass/RogersPasstext.htm The History of the Rogers Pass crossing〕 However, most of the route through the pass was still unprotected, meaning that men and equipment were often called upon to clear the track.〔http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/events/1910avalanche.htm The Deadly Avalanches of 1910〕
