Scope and content:

This sub-series consists of an album of black and white aerial photographs taken by the Royal Canadian Air Force during the summer months of 1930, at intervals of about 1.5 - 3 miles on the line of the Hudson Bay Railway, in Manitoba. The album is divided into two distinct sections, from mile 6 to mile 180, and from mile 241 to mile 424.

The Hudson Bay Railway was buit in stages between 1908 and 1929. The federal government undertook in 1927 to complete the railway to Churchill. Engineering challenges by the large amount of muskeg and frequent rock outcrops on the Canadian Shield led to delays. The line to Churchill was completed March 29, 1929 and it opened for traffic on September 10, 1929. From 1929 to 1997, the railway line was operated by Canadian National Railways.
