Max Jacquiard - Triple Header over The Kicking Horse

In the busy postwar summers, before the Trans Canada Highway, and
before air travel became common-place, long triple-headed passenger trains
could frequently be seen on Canadian Pacific's Field hill. In this late afternoon,
late spring scene from that era, the eastbound "Dominion" crosses the Kicking
Horse River Bridge at mile 131.7, Laggan Subdivision, and is about to enter
the first of the two famous spiral tunnels. The train engine is "Selkirk" type
5922 assisted by two heavy "Mikado" locomotives added to the train at
Field for the climb over the continental divide. The mountains in the
background are Cathedral and Stephen.

ax 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.
