Photograph of a cabin standing along the side of the Canadian Pacific Railway route, as viewed en route to Vancouver. Vegetation grows wild in the foreground. Split-rail and wire fencing weaves through the brush. In the near distance, at center, a dilapidated, old cabin stands. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side, facing left.
