Canadian National's route over Yellowhead Pass was built by two Railways, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The CNoR completed their line to Vancouver on Jan 23, 1915 and the GTP completed their line to Prince Rupert on April 7, 1914. The two lines were consolidated into one line during a WW 1 scrap drive. Grades are less than 1% due to the elevation of only 3717'. Via Rail Canada operates the Canadian and the Skeena through Yellowhead Pass, which also sees the
