Thunder Bridge over the old Northern and Pacific Junction / CN rail line at Scotia. Despite its age, the municipality pays for the upkeep of this old wooden bridge, which, workers told me, is more extensive than one would imagine. Photo credit: Scott Rance, July 2008

Steel ribbon – the last connection to Home. Once he stepped away, he was gone. In 1896, this rail trip was the last for my great-grandfather James Mullen. Destined for Katrine – to connect with a friend – when he disembarked at Emsdale he walked to Kearney instead; then was led two days into the bush and clubbed to death in his sleep for seven dollars.
