Alberta Coal Branch

At this date it is hard to know whether Powell lived on the Coal Branch or was a visiting Minister. Given the dating of his photographs, it is quite likely he came on a monthly visit from the mid-thirties through the early forties. He obviously had a good camera and a rail fan's discerning eye.
