The Last Spike site in Eagle Pass, Craigellachie, British Columbia, Canada, is where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven, on the morning of November 7th, 1885. I was first there in 1986 during a family road trip from Toronto to Vancouver for Expo ’86. We got replicas of the last spike in the “Last Spike Gift Shope” there – still have them!

In the spring of 2024, I was on another long road trip and passed through Craigellachie, so I had to stop! I got this video of the Rocky Mountaineer train rolling in, westbound. It was a lovely day for it, and I did recall being there, many years ago. My Dad worked for the CPR for 42 years, so this visit was especially poignant, as he passed away in 2020.
