Max Jacquiard - Red Pass Junction

The original Canadian Northern Pacific and Grand Trunk Pacific mainlines followed
parallel routes through Jasper and Yellowhead Pass before diverging towards
their respective destinations of Vancouver and Prince Rupert. After both
became major components of Canadian National Railways, the better
sections of each line were formed into one up to Red Pass Junction at
the western end of Moose Lake.

On a winter afternoon the Vancouver bound Continental passes the station
on the Alberta subdivision. The track visible behind the building is the start
of the Tete Jaune subdivision (Prince Rupert).
The station, water tank, hotel, store and other buildings are now gone.

Max Jacquiard has a sizeable research library of printed materials, photos and
slides of steam trains and the places they would have operated. It is that attention
to precise and accurate details that can be seen in his paintings. The sensitivity
to his subject and quiet passion that is infused into each work seem to allow
Max Jaquiard to breath life into the canvases. The images he creates have
captured the imaginations of steam buffs across Canada and the United
States. His paintings grace the walls in homes across North America.
