Prince Rupert BC I believe this photo was originally taken by the RCAF

Grand Trunk Pacific Wharf and buildings, in foreground, are all gone, today (2017, This is now the location of the Kwinitsa Station.

  • GTPR Wooden Ramp, Located on the left, half way up, built down from the Bench area, and across the tracks.

My Grand Trunk Pacific Page 2 shows views of this ramp.

  • Pillsbury House can barely be seen at the top end of the ramp, Today this is on Bill Murray Drive.

Note they had a walkway from the hotel down to the tracks, Location of this would be the back of the Rupert Mall.
Rupert Mall location would have wiped out a lot of historical areas.
