Hello Archives Fans,
Does anyone recognize themselves or know the year in either of these EPC class pictures? They are from the Robert Tannas donation and they don't have names or dates on them.

As we count down the weeks until the new bridge across the Athabasca opens, it seems appropriate that we look back at how we crossed in the past. Using the newspaper clipping files and the Archives photo collection, a series of articles has been put together illustrating the history of our river crossings. The first two - "Ice Roads and the Ferry" and "The Cage" are now available for your enjoyment on the Athabasca Archives webpage. A third, "A Bridge is Built" is on its way.

You can read these at: https://www.athabascaarchives.ca/crossing-the-river We hope you enjoy them and will keep you updated as new articles are uploaded.
