The Last Spike
Area E (Eagle River Valley), Canada
A ceremonial final spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) at Craigellachie, British Columbia, at 9:22 am on November 7, 1885. It was driven in by CPR railway financier Donald Smith, Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, marking the end to a saga of natural disasters, financial crises,
and even rebellion that plagued Canada's first transcontinental railway from its beginning.
