It would conservatively take 100 gravel trucks, carrying 3 tons per load, making ten trips a day, an estimated 66 years to remove the debris. As it is, the gigantic tombstone is probably the most awe inspiring in the world and stands as a constant reminder of those 100 seconds of wind, rock and dust which wrote the epic of Frank slide in indelible limestone, shale and coal script.'

Stagecoach & Train Robber Excerpt: "Engineer NJ Scott eased the throttle forward on Canadian Pacific Railway's big Transcontinental Express No. 1 and drew slowly away from the water tower 200 yards west of the depot at Mission Junction, British Columbia. The headlight's powerful beam made scarcely a dint in the pitch black night, with a dense fog restricting visibility even more. Already two and a half hours late because of the fog, the veteran trainman knew he would be even farther behind schedule before reaching Vancouver 65 km (40 miles) away. His watch showed 9:30 pm. It was Saturday, September 10, 1904." book : softcover 1982 1992.086.001 Library - Local History Viewing Entries 1 - 4 of 4 Page  1
