He is known across Canada, and in a good many other parts of the world, for his photographs of the CPR. He was the CPR photographer! His 50-year?career spanned the "Great Depression" the "Second World War," the "Cold War," the end of the steam ear, and the end of the company operated passenger service. For 44 years Morant crisscrossed the country on passenger trains, enroute to and from assignments to all the subsidiaries of Canadian Pacific. He photographed hotels, steamships, trucks, airliners, oil wells, mines, logging and myriad other facets of the CPR. He photographed people, places and events. He chronicled the times, writing for the company magazine as well as photographing developments on the railway. It is the photographs Nick Morant made for the Canadian Pacific Railway that are the subject of this book. There was no shortage of material. In fact it was difficult to choose. But wherever Morant has stories to tell, we have tried to match his tales with the photographs he made. Here then is a book of photographs of the Canadian Pacific Railway over the years, from 1929 to 1981, the span of Morant's career as a photographer. It is a book that all who are interested in railways, their engineering and technology, will be interested in.
